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.

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 allMy doctor said I might need surgery for a hole in my eardrum. How do they usually do this procedure? Are there any medications that can help instead of surgery? I'm a bit worried about what to expect.
If a hole in your eardrum (ruptured eardrum) doesn't heal on its own, surgery might be needed to repair it. The most common surgical procedure is called tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, where a patch of tissue is used to cover the hole. While some cases heal without treatment, surgery is often required if the eardrum doesn't heal within a few months or if complications like infection or hearing loss occur

I've been dealing with constant headaches and facial pain for years. My PNS CT report shows mild polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses and a Haller cell that's blocking the maxillary antral infundibuli. Both my inferior nasal turbinates are thickened too. I've tried so many medications and nasal sprays but nothing helps. Should I consider sinus surgery for this? And do you know roughly how much sinus surgery costs?
endoscopic surgery is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this Tinnitus in my left ear for about two years now and it seems to be getting worse. I came across a tablet called Tinnicar and I'm wondering if it has any side effects. I'm really curious to know if it might help or if there are things I should be careful about. What do you think?
continue the same medication
