Question 1

I woke up yesterday with a weird thing happening. When I tried to clear my throat, like ahkkk, and spat it out, I noticed some blood stains. Then I checked in the mirror and saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck at the back of my throat. I was freaking out. It didn't bleed after that until the evening when I saw another blob stuck there, but it didn't come out. I'm super anxious about this. Am I okay, or is something serious going on? I noticed my nose is often dry, and when I clean it, there's some blood. Plus, I've got burping and acidity issues and have been having trouble speaking loudly or even wanting to talk much. I've had a sore throat for the past ten days too. What's happening with me?

Question 2

There's this recurring swelling under my jaw, on the left side, that's been really worrying me. It seems to get hard and painful as it grows. Whenever I take antibiotics, the swelling decreases but never fully goes away, and it pops back up, especially after I eat non-veg food. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm currently taking Augmentin 625 and Doxolin 400, but my throat infection is still not getting better. I started Montemac FX today and also began Atorvastatin for my high cholesterol. My chest is clear, though I've got this annoying cough. I'm using Betadine gargle, but I'm really looking for something to get fast relief for my throat. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Accepted Answer

I see that you are already taking Augmentin 625 for the infection, Doxolin 400 for the cough, Montemac FX for the throat infection, and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Since you are still experiencing throat infection and cough, I recommend adding an over-the-counter antitussive such as Benadryl Cough Syrup to help with the cough. Additionally, you can try steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil to help soothe your throat. Make sure to continue with the Betadine gargle as prescribed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing a red vein at the back of my throat, but I don't have a fever or anything else going on. Do you think I should get tested for COVID?

It's normal don't worry you can neglect it.
