I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?

View allI'm having some trouble with pain on the left side of my throat, where my food pipe is. It's really noticeable when I'm jogging and taking in air; it hurts quite a bit. The pain seems to stick around throughout the day too. Sometimes it even makes my left ear hurt a little. Any ideas on what this could be or how to deal with it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in your throat, possibly related to acid reflux or a throat infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and help with any acid reflux. Additionally, you can try using a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. It's also important to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoking or alcohol. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?
A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.
