I'm really worried because my husband has been noticing some blood when he spits every now and then for about a month, and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. We've done a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, a stomach ultrasound, and even an endoscopy for his throat and nose, but everything came back normal. We're not sure what steps to take next or if there's something else we should be checking out. Have you got any advice on what might be happening or what we should do?

View allI'm having an issue with my uvula. It seems unusually long and stretched out, and feels almost like there's something stuck in my throat when there isn't. Sometimes it makes me gag randomly. Is this something I should be worried about?
Elongation of uvula usually occurs secondary to chronic irritation which can be caused by reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder or recurrent injuries caused by irritants such as smoking and alcohol. Treatment of the primary problem is necessary

I've had this feeling like something is stuck in my throat for the past week and it's really starting to worry me. I've got this habit of using tobacco and pan masala, and I'm scared it might be something serious like cancer. What do you think?
Stuck fish bone can be concerning! _Possible Risks_ 1. _Infection_: If the bone remains in your throat, it can cause an infection, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, and increased pain. 2. _Abscess formation_: In rare cases, the bone can cause an abscess to form in the throat. _Removal Methods_ 1. _Drink plenty of water_: Encourage the bone to move down your throat by drinking plenty of water. 2. _Eat soft foods_: Consume soft, sticky foods like bananas, yogurt, or marshmallows to help dislodge the bone. 3. _Try the "cough and swallow" method_: Cough gently and then swallow to try to dislodge the bone. _Medical Attention_ 1. _Visit an ENT specialist_: If you're unsure whether the bone is still stuck or if you experience severe symptoms, consult an ENT specialist. 2. _Endoscopy or X-ray_: The doctor may perform an endoscopy or X-ray to locate the bone and determine the best course of action. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain or difficulty swallowing_ 2. _Shortness of breath_ 3. _Fever or chills_ 4. _Blood in your saliva or cough_
