I've been experiencing something a bit concerning tonight. I sneezed a few times and then noticed small amounts of blood mixed with mucus and saliva for about 5 minutes before it stopped. I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about. Can you tell me if this is normal or if I should be doing anything about it?

My 5-year-old niece has been having nosebleeds and an X-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm wondering if medication could work instead. Is surgery really necessary in this case? Also, what's the usual cost range for this kind of procedure?

adenoidectomy is advised.

My right nose is blocked due to nasal congestion and allergies, and the doctor recommended surgery using advanced ENT with a navigator based on my CT scan and endoscopic report. They said skipping surgery could lead to chronic sinus issues. Are there any alternative treatments that could avoid surgery?

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.
