I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm already on some medication. I'm a bit unsure about what to eat right now. Do you think eating rice is okay or could it make things worse? Id really appreciate your advice.

View allI've been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?
Isolated incidence is no issue, may be it was due to forceful throat clearing.

I've been experiencing a problem lately. After wearing a mask for 12 hours, I've noticed my nose starts bleeding, but everything seems normal when I'm not wearing it. What could be causing this issue? Could the mask be affecting something with my nose?
Nosebleeds can be triggered by various factors, and wearing a mask for an extended period of time can lead to dryness and irritation of the nasal passages, making them more prone to bleeding. To help prevent nosebleeds while wearing a mask, you can use a saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils before putting on the mask to help protect the delicate nasal skin.

I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my throat whenever I cough. It's really weird because I don't feel any discomfort while eating or drinking. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a minor thing that will go away?
The weird feeling on the left side of your throat while coughing, without difficulty swallowing food and water, could be due to a minor issue like throat muscle strain, acid reflux, or a cough-related irritation
