I've been experiencing a problem lately. After wearing a mask for 12 hours, I've noticed my nose starts bleeding, but everything seems normal when I'm not wearing it. What could be causing this issue? Could the mask be affecting something with my nose?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Nosebleeds can be triggered by various factors, and wearing a mask for an extended period of time can lead to dryness and irritation of the nasal passages, making them more prone to bleeding. To help prevent nosebleeds while wearing a mask, you can use a saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils before putting on the mask to help protect the delicate nasal skin.

View allI've been dealing with tonsillitis for a while and also had a post-nasal drip infection. Now, I've got tonsillitis again and I'm seeing blood in my sputum. Every time I spit out phlegm, there's a little blood. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing the blood?
You might be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection with acute pharyngo-tonsillitis. This type of infection can lead to minimal blood in sputum because of rupture of small blood vessels while coughing. If your symptoms persist then you may need to undergo endoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis

My 5-year-old just had adenoid surgery and I'm a bit confused do adenoids grow back after removal? I've heard mixed things about whether this is a permanent fix or if they might return over time. Also, how effective is this surgery in the short term versus long term for kids? Really want to understand if this will fully solve their breathing issues or if we might face the same problems again later
It's also possible for your child's adenoids to grow back. It's impossible to remove all traces of the tissue since the adenoids are so far back in your child's nasal passage. If the tissue continues to cause problems, your child may need surgery twice. This is extremely rare.
