I'm finding that there's this continuous buildup of mucus in my throat, and I have to clear it a lot. It's kind of uncomfortable and I'm starting to get a little worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing it, and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

So, this weird thing happens to me twice a year, and I'm kinda worried. Every time I catch a cold, after the first day, I just start salivating A LOT and it doesn't stop. It's like I'm drooling non-stop! I've tried different medications, but nothing seems to work. The drooling just does its thing and goes away after about 3-4 days. Is there something serious going on here? And if there are any meds that can help with this, that would be awesome.

I've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?

Intense, left-sided headaches accompanied by sinus issues could indicate a sinus infection or other sinus-related conditions. To manage these symptoms, try saline nasal sprays, warm compresses, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult a doctor.

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.
