I've been having a nosebleed for the past two days, and it's starting to freak me out. On top of that, I'm having trouble breathing, and I've got this constant headache. I'm not sure what's going on and could really use some advice on what steps I should take or what could be causing this. Could you help me figure it out?

Nosebleeds lasting for two days, along with breathing difficulties and headaches, may indicate a more serious underlying issue. It is important to address these symptoms promptly. You can try using over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help constrict blood vessels in the nose and stop the bleeding. For the headache, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed on the package. However, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the cause of these symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.

View allIs it safe to use Epsom salt for gargling? A lot of my friends keep saying it's helpful in different situations, but I'm worried if it might harm the body in some way. Are there any precautions I should take if I decide to use it?
Epsom salt, when dissolved in water, can be used as a gargle to help relieve sore throat and mouth sores. It is generally safe for gargling when used in appropriate concentrations. However, it is important to note that ingesting Epsom salt can lead to magnesium toxicity, so it should not be swallowed. To gargle with Epsom salt, mix about half a teaspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it for a few seconds before spitting it out. There is no need to cover up after gargling with Epsom salt.

I've been really anxious about something recently. I tested positive for COVID-19 about a month ago, and a week after that, I got mild pneumonia. The doctor put me on steroids, and now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm really worried about the risk of getting black fungus. I've never had diabetes or any other diseases, and I was in home isolation the whole time I had COVID. Do you think I could still be at risk for contracting it?
no need to worry just forget about it, maintain healthy lifestyle have a regular followup with your doctor.
