I'm waking up really early in the morning and almost immediately start coughing. I went to see the doctor, and they told me everything seems fine, even my CT scan was clear. I'm starting to think that maybe it's because I'm swallowing my mouth water before I brush my teeth. Could that actually be irritating my throat and causing me to cough? It's strange because no one else around me seems to be having this issue. Is there something wrong with my mouth water that's causing this? I'm just a bit worried and can't figure out what could be happening.

My grandpa's over 80 and he's got an ear infection. He's been taking zifi 200 for a couple of days now, but he's started feeling a heaviness in his head, can't hear too well, and there's some watery pus coming from his ear. I'm kind of worried and not sure if we should keep giving him the zifi. What do you think?

Its important to stop Zifi for now and contact his doctor immediately. His symptoms could be related to side effects from the medication, the infection not responding as expected, or other complications, and his doctor can help determine the best course of action.

I had nasal surgery five months ago but I'm still getting green mucus from my nose. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

While it's not uncommon to experience some nasal discharge after surgery, persistent green mucus for five months warrants medical attention. It could indicate a lingering infection, scar tissue formation, or other complications from the surgery. Consulting with your surgeon or an ENT specialist is crucial to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment
