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 some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?
While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

my 10 year old daughter breathes through her mouth while sleeping due to adenoids - can this be treated with medicines alone or is surgery the only option
Mouth breathing due to enlarged adenoids can sometimes be treated with medication, but surgery (adenoidectomy) is often recommended for severe cases or if other treatments fail
