I'm a bit concerned because I don't have a cough, but every morning after brushing my teeth, I notice a tiny dark blood clot when I phlegm from my throat. It's only happened once, and since then I've been phlegming from my throat with no more blood. I went to see an ENT specialist and they said it was clinically normal, but I'm still a little worried. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about or is it really nothing to worry about?

I had nasal surgery five months ago but I'm still getting green mucus from my nose. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

While it's not uncommon to experience some nasal discharge after surgery, persistent green mucus for five months warrants medical attention. It could indicate a lingering infection, scar tissue formation, or other complications from the surgery. Consulting with your surgeon or an ENT specialist is crucial to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment
