I've been dealing with this ongoing cough issue for about a year now, and it's really starting to worry me. I think it might have something to do with my epiglottis. Could you offer any suggestions or advice on what might be happening and how I can address it?

I had a bike accident about 5 days back. I've got some rashes on my left hand and there's an injury above my left eye, plus my eye got a little hurt too. A couple of days ago, I noticed some blood in my sputum when I was clearing my throat in the evening, and the same thing happened the next two mornings. I'm kind of worried. What could be going on?

consult your doctor if it persists

I've got a fish bone stuck in my throat, and I've tried a few home remedies, but nothing's working. There's no pain, but could you suggest some medicine or something to help get rid of it?

If a fish bone is stuck in your throat, try to remain calm and avoid attempting to dislodge it with sharp objects; instead, consider visiting an ENT specialist

I'm dealing with a sore throat that comes and goes. I do smoke a bit like one or two cigarettes a day, but it's not a lot. Can I take cefix 200 even though it expired last month?

No you can't take that medicine.
