Question 1

I've been having some blood in my mucus the past couple of mornings, and it's making me pretty anxious. I've had a cough and cold recently, and I'm wondering if that could be causing it. I'm also a smoker, and I traveled to higher altitudes last week. Could any of these be the reason for the blood? I'm really nervous about going to the doctor and getting tested. What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

Yes that could be due to ongoing cold and cough,no need to worry that will heal simultaneously with flu symptoms.

Question 2

I'm having this constant pain in my ear canal after I scratched it and a doctor used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. My mom suggested using warm ghee and turmeric, but it's still hurting a lot. I'm really worried because seeing a doctor nearby is super pricey. What else can I do to help with the pain?

Accepted Answer

Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my friend's ear pain. She's been dealing with it for over a year, and every time we consulted a doctor, they just recommended cleaning. But last week, she was out of town and in a lot of pain, so she saw another doctor who found a small hole in her eardrum and suggested surgery. Im wondering if surgery is really necessary or if there are other options. Could you give some advice on this situation?
