Question 2

I'm a 26-year-old and generally in good health, but I've been experiencing blood streaks in my sputum every morning for the past 5 years, especially during the winter or when I catch a cold. I've seen an ENT specialist who mentioned DNS, but I noticed I'm not breathing through my mouth. My X-ray came back normal, and besides a dry and sore throat on those days, there are no other symptoms. What should I be doing about this?

Accepted Answer

Consult a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation, including a high-resolution CT scan, bronchoscopy, or pulmonary function tests, to rule out underlying conditions

Question 3

My ears have been clogged for days but my hearing is still fine. At first I didn't notice it much but now I realize my ears won't pop and there's constant pressure in both ears. An ENT doctor said one of my nasal passages is swollen which might be causing this. I've tried home remedies but the ear pressure and clogged feeling won't go away. Could this be a eustachian tube issue? Do I need surgery even though my hearing isn't affected?

Accepted Answer

septoplasty is advised,ent review.
