I've been having frequent nosebleeds for the past three days, and yesterday it happened three times. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or avoid?

Frequent nosebleeds can be concerning. It is important to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray like Afrin. Apply 2-3 sprays in the affected nostril every 12 hours. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Apply 2-3 sprays in each nostril 2-3 times a day. If the nosebleeds persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that my mom, who's 55, often feels a cold sensation in her chest, and sometimes it feels like it's stuck in her throat when she's eating. It causes her breathing problems during those times. Do you think we should see a lung specialist or an ENT doctor for this?

Your mom's symptoms, such as feeling cold in the chest, throat blockage while eating, and breathing difficulties, could be related to either a respiratory or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issue; it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist)

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.
