Question 1

I'm experiencing a sore throat, and sometimes I'm noticing mucus with a bit of blood coming from my mouth. Could you help me understand what's going on and what remedies I might try? I'm a bit concerned about it.

Accepted Answer

Blood in sputum during a sore throat can be due to ruptured blood vessels because of inflammation and congestion in the throat. It is harmless in minor quantities. If symptoms such as high fever or chills begin to develop with associated breathing difficultes, a more detailed examination may be warranted through an in person physician consult.

Question 3

I'm about 20 days post-SeptoplastyMMA surgery and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start wearing a mask. Should I be looking for any specific type of mask or will any mask work?

Accepted Answer

Given the persistent symptoms, it's essential to consult a specialist.

Schedule an appointment with an:

- ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat)
- Gastroenterologist (for potential GERD)

Before the appointment, prepare by:

- Writing down symptoms and duration
- Tracking triggers and relieving factors
- Gathering medical history and previous treatments

A thorough examination and diagnostic tests (e.g., endoscopy, pH monitoring) will help determine the underlying cause.

Accepted Answer

Generally, 2-3 weeks after septoplasty and MMA surgery, you can start wearing a mask.

However, consider the following:

- Choose a soft, breathable mask (e.g., cotton or surgical mask)
- Avoid tight-fitting masks or N95 masks that may put pressure on your nose
- Gently place the mask over your nose and mouth, avoiding excessive tension

Consult your surgeon or healthcare provider for personalized advice, as they may have specific recommendations based on your individual situation.

Question 6

I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Accepted Answer

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe.

No specific gap is required, but consider:

1. _Digestion time_: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion.
2. _Blood sugar levels_: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to:
    - Dizziness
    - Lightheadedness
    - Shivering

To be cautious:

1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing.
2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system.

No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.
