I'm waking up and noticing that I'm spitting brown saliva, which is really unusual for me. I've never smoked or drank, and this is the first time I've experienced something like this. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Brown saliva in the morning could be due to various reasons such as dehydration, nasal congestion, or even minor bleeding in the mouth during the night. However, if this persists, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help with any nasal congestion and ensure you are staying hydrated throughout the day.

View allI've been having quite a bit of trouble breathing through my nose. Initially, I went to the doctor, and they recommended surgery for my rhinosinusitis and internal turbinates, so I went ahead with it. But now I'm experiencing even worse issues, like one of my nostrils is completely blockedyou know, I can't even fit a finger inside! I went back, and the doctor mentioned something about a deviated septum. I'm really worried and wondering what could be going on. Is another surgery my only option now, or could there be other treatments or therapies that might help?
if you are having this severe symptoms, proceed for surgery. it is safe and you can feel better

I was diagnosed with an antrochoanal polyp after a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm okay with surgery but I'm curious to know if my polyp is considered big or small since I don't have facial pain and only one nostril is 40% blocked while the other is fine. I had a sinus infection about 10 months ago could that be related? Do I really need surgery?
An antrochoanal polyp's size isn't determined by nostril blockage alone. While a 40% blockage is noticeable, it's the polyp's location and extent, as seen in your CT scan, that dictates its size and potential for surgery. Your recent sinus infection could have contributed to the polyp's growth, and while some patients may need surgery, others may respond well to medical treatments. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery suggests a need for complete removal to address your symptoms and prevent recurrence.
