I'm really worried about my brother. He was sleeping, and suddenly woke up with a sore throat. When he tried to cough, blood started coming out and it wouldn't stop for over an hour. It was pretty scary. Then, the same thing happened again after a week. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?

I've been dealing with thick, sticky mucus in my nose and throat constantly, and now there's this weird cracking sound between my ear and nose. I've attached my CT scan do you think I should consider surgery right away or wait a few more months until the pandemic settles down? I'm not sure how urgent this is.

I've had these Circumvallate papillae for about 5 years, and just last Thursday, after dinner, I noticed some new bumps forming behind them. I'm not someone who smokes or drinks. I even attached a couple of images for you to seethe first highlights these bumps in red, located right behind the junction of the Circumvallate papillae, and the second should help pinpoint exactly where they are. It's tough to get an appointment with an ENT right now. I'm just wondering, does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried enough to try harder to see a doctor? I'm dealing with anxiety over this and it's affecting my sleep. I'm really hoping you can help me understand what's going on.

To help reduce inflammation and alleviate any discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a mouth rinse containing chlorhexidine to help with any potential infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics or other medications.
