Question 1

I've been noticing a bit of blood in my saliva when I spit in the mornings, usually just in the first few spits, and then it doesn't happen again throughout the day. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough or pain. I've never smoked or used tobacco, and I don't drink alcohol either. This has been going on for about a week now, but it doesnt happen every single day, maybe once every couple of days. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this, hoping it's nothing serious. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Yes as your doctor said that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

Question 2

I've been noticing blood in the mucus from my left nostril for the past two days, but the right nostril doesn't have any mucus at all. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough. Although, I did have a headache about a week ago, but that's gone now. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Accepted Answer

That could be capillary bleed no need worry ignore it get treated for cold if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

Question 3

I've had swelling under my right jawline for the past 14 days, and it hurts when I eat. A scan showed a 7mm stone in the main duct where it comes out of the gland. The pain has stopped for the last 3 days, but I can still feel the lump. Is surgery the only option for this? If so, would it be done through the mouth or from outside the neck? Can I get sialendoscopy instead, and where's the nearest place to get it done in Amritsar?

Accepted Answer

A salivary gland stone is the likely culprit of your swollen jaw and pain when eating. While surgery is an option, sialendoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) is often a first choice. It's best to seek a specialist's opinion on the best course of action

I'm having this annoying throat pain, and my doctor prescribed Augmentin 625. Do you think it'll help with the pain I feel when swallowing?

Augmentin 625, a combination antibiotic of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, can help cure throat pain caused by bacterial infections such as strep throat, but if your throat pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor to rule out other causes, such as viral infections or other conditions.
