I'm experiencing what I think might be acid reflux, and I've been noticing some blood mixed in my saliva but only in the mornings, and it's worrying me a bit. I'm not coughing at all, but my throat's been feeling sore all day, and there's this constant salty taste in my mouth. Also, now and then I cough up some yellowish mucus. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with this annoying pricking sensation in my throat, and it's really starting to bother me. It's right at the front on the right side and only seems to happen when I swallow my saliva. Im not sure what could be causing this. Could it be something serious or just a minor issue? Id love to hear your thoughts on this.

That could be mucosal congestion no need to worry,consume warm food and sip warm liquids for a better result

I've been dealing with chronic recurrent sinusitis that causes constant nose blockage, throat congestion, and occasional mild cough. It only gets better once all the mucus drains, but sometimes it takes weeks or even over a month to clear. I've tried Montecope, Sinarest syrup, and Allegra 120 without much relief. Steam inhalation helps a bit, but I really don't want to go for surgery. What else can I do to manage this chronic sinus issue?

To better manage your chronic sinusitis, consider implementing a more comprehensive approach. Focus on keeping sinuses moist, reducing inflammation, and addressing potential underlying causes. If symptoms persist, consider consulting an ENT specialist.

I'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?

Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.
