I've been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?

Isolated incidence is no issue, may be it was due to forceful throat clearing.

View allI've been using a qtip to clean my ear, and after I took it out, I noticed some bleeding. Does this mean I might've ruptured my eardrum? Should I be worried about how serious it is? Everything seems normal otherwise, like there's no pain, dizziness, and my hearing is as usual. Just wondering if I should get it checked out.
that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

I've been waking up with my right ear feeling blocked and kinda wet for the past three days. There's this ringing sound in that ear that sticks around all day, which is really starting to bug me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with it?
For dry sinusitis, consider: - Nasal moisturizers: Nasogel, Rhinocort Aqua, or Simply Saline - Humidifiers to add moisture to the air - Increase saline spray usage to 3-4 times a day For swelling and congestion: - Consult an ENT specialist for a proper examination - Consider prescription medications like nasal corticosteroids - Otrivin can be used as needed, but follow usage guidelines Maintain good nasal hygiene and consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

I've been dealing with a swollen left lingual tonsil for about a month now. Initially, it wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some discomfort when I swallow and I have ear pain too. There are also these white spots on it. I'm a pretty heavy smoker. What could this mean and what should I do?
