I'm doing gargling and taking steam every day. Today, I had my COVID-19 test because my parents tested positive. I don't have any symptoms, but about an hour after the test, I started spitting blood mixed with saliva, and it happened about ten times. Could this be because of the throat swab test since they took my sample from the throat?

View allI was eating dinner tonight and ended up coughing with food still in my mouth. Now I feel like there might be a tiny piece of food stuck in my sinus area because it mildly burns, and I've been producing quite a lot of mucus. Should I just wait for it to clear up on its own, or do you think I should see a doctor?
That would go on its own, do salt water gargling twice a day,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with this cough for 23 days now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm coughing up this greenish-yellow mucus, and every single time I cough, I can't breathe and start gagging. On top of that, my nose is super congested, my tonsils are all inflamed, and I've got this really terrible ear pain. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned about this combination of symptoms?
Thta could be Bronchitis,visit Pulmonologist for appropriate management,have good foofd and take adequate rest

Lately, when I wake up in the morning and have a drink of water, I feel this strange pain in my throat, almost like something's stuck there. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what it could be. Any idea what might be causing this?
