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'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old daughter. She's been breathing through her mouth for over two years now. We saw an ENT specialist, and they mentioned her air veins are blocked. We did the whole treatment with cepodem, delcan, aerodil syrups, and nebulisation for five days. She seemed to breathe better afterward but still through her mouth. The doctor listened again and heard something that led us to get a nose X-ray. It showed she has adenoid hypertrophy, Grade 4. Theyre suggesting we consider an endoscopic debrider adenoidectomy. Im really unsure about going through with this. Are there any risks with this surgery? Can medication alone treat this, and is she too young at 3.5 for such a procedure? Any advice would be appreciated.
Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this discomfort for over a week now, like something is stuck in my throat and just won't go away. It's not affecting my eating, but it's really bothering me. Any idea what this could be or how to get rid of it?
Heaviness in the head, ear blockage, and facial pain can be uncomfortable. Considering your raised IgE and nasal corticosteroid medication, possible causes include: - Allergic rhinitis exacerbation - Sinus pressure or infection - Eustachian tube dysfunction Consult your doctor or an ENT specialist to discuss: - Adjusting your medication - Additional treatments (e.g., decongestants, antihistamines) - Further evaluation (e.g., sinus imaging, allergy testing)

I'm really worried because I swallowed a chicken bone during dinner and now it's stuck in my throat. It's super irritating and I can't figure out how to get it out. What should I do to deal with this?
If it is lodged in the throat it would cause severe pain and many other worse symptoms visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and follow up.
