I've been dealing with nasal congestion and noticed something concerning 48 hours ago. I spit out some phlegm, and there was a tiny bit of red or pink in it. What could this mean? I'm a bit worried.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The presence of a small red or pink particle in your phlegm could indicate a minor nasal bleed or inflammation; however, to rule out any underlying conditions, such as nasal polyps, sinusitis, or a foreign object, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

View allI had wisdom teeth surgery on Friday, and I've been dealing with hiccups for the past 48 hours. It's starting to really hurt my chest and is making me feel nauseous. Is this normal after surgery, or should I be concerned? What can I do to relieve these symptoms?
The hiccups, chest pain, and nausea you're experiencing could be due to a combination of surgery, medications, or temporary irritation. While its common to have some discomfort after wisdom teeth surgery, if the symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend reaching out to your dentist or oral surgeon to ensure theres no underlying complication.

I've been having this weird sensation, like something's crawling in my right ear, but every time I look, I can't find anything. When I use earphones, it feels kinda hollow in that ear, and I've been getting these intense headaches sometimes too. The eye doctor mentioned it might be from dry eyes after my LASIK. Now, I'm feeling some slight pain in my right ear and a bit of numbness. What do you think could be going on, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with mouth breathing and waking up with a dry mouth around 4am, which sometimes leaves my throat sore. Could this be sleep apnea? It started about 5 months ago, around the same time I gained 5kg. An ENT recommended nose surgery and a CT scan, but I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary or if it's just a breathing issue
Yes, waking up with a dry mouth, sore throat, and mouth breathing could indicate sleep apnea, especially given the weight gain and timing of the symptoms. The ENT's recommendation for nose surgery and a CT scan is a normal step in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, but surgery isn't always the first or only option
