I'm experiencing pain in my throat whenever I swallow saliva, but it seems to be less noticeable when I'm eating or drinking. The thing is, the pain shifts from one side to the other, sometimes on the right and then back to the left, and I'm also feeling a slight discomfort near my ear. Any advice on what might be going on?

My daughter keeps having streaks of blood in her mucus almost every morning. The ENT specialist mentioned that something might be stuck in her nose. Does that sound right? Could there be another reason for this bleeding? It happens so often, and I'm starting to get really concerned.
