I've been having some blood in my mucus the past couple of mornings, and it's making me pretty anxious. I've had a cough and cold recently, and I'm wondering if that could be causing it. I'm also a smoker, and I traveled to higher altitudes last week. Could any of these be the reason for the blood? I'm really nervous about going to the doctor and getting tested. What do you think I should do?

Yes that could be due to ongoing cold and cough,no need to worry that will heal simultaneously with flu symptoms.

My daughter, who's 5 now, has been having really frequent nosebleeds like at least twice a week ever since she was one year old. We've been using Botroclot, Neosporin ointment, and ice almost all the time. The bleeding is quite heavy and doesn't stop unless we use Botroclot. We've done blood tests for clotting, and everything came back normal. We were told that this might normalize as she grows older, but honestly, we're really worried about it. Could you suggest what might be going on or what else we could do?

managing environmental factors (like dryness), avoid irritants, and practice good nasal care. However, if the bleeding persists or worsens, its advisable to seek further consultation with an ENT specialist who can investigate any underlying causes and provide targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with chronic snoring for a while now and even had nasopharyngeal surgery, but it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try to get some relief? It's really affecting my sleep and I'm worried about why the surgery didn't work

Changing your sleep position, avoiding beverages containing alcohol and maintaining a weight that's healthy for you can reduce snoring. Medications. Cold and allergy medications relieve nasal congestion and help you breathe freely. Nasal strips.

I had to have some teeth removed a few months back, and I've been having a rough time since. One of the teeth was near the back on the upper part, and ever since then, I've noticed this small hole where I can suck and push air through. Now I'm dealing with migraines almost daily and this awful smell coming from one nostril. There's also a lot of smelly mucus, and it seems to be running down the back of my throat, making me blow my nose like 25 times a day. Could this all be related to getting my teeth removed, and what should I do about it?
