I've been dealing with constant phlegm in my throat for quite a while now. I hardly ever cough, but the phlegm just keeps showing up every day. I don't feel weak or anything, but it's really starting to annoy me. There's no reduction even though I don't have a cold. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

it can be post nasal drip due to allergy or chronic sinusitis.

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.

I've noticed that I'm seeing blood when I spit, especially in the mornings. Should I be concerned about this, and do you think I need any tests? How should I go about getting treatment for this?
Seeing blood while spitting can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation studies, and imaging studies may be recommended to determine the cause of the bleeding. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as tranexamic acid to help with clotting, antibiotics if there is an infection, or corticosteroids for inflammation. The dosage and duration of medication will depend on the specific diagnosis made by your healthcare provider.
