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.

View allI'm hearing this strange sound, like breathing, coming from my left ear. I tried holding my breath, but the sound didn't stop. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Hearing your breathing in your ear can be caused by a condition called patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction so consult ent surgeon for the same

I've been reading about PRP injections and their potential benefits for reducing tinnitus and improving sensorineural hearing loss. I'm curious if this is actually effective. Also, I'm wondering whether this treatment can be done as an inpatient procedure instead of a daycare one. I live in Hyderabad, so if you have any local recommendations or leads, that would be really helpful.
There is limited usage of such treatment in general practice,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I've been on a course of Derinide AQ and Defza, and during the treatment, I got my sense of smell back. But now it's gone again, and sometimes there's this weird odor in my nose. It's been about 20 days using this nasal spray. Is there a permanent solution for this? Will I ever get my sense of smell back? What do you suggest?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called anosmia, which is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. In some cases, medications like nasal sprays can affect the sense of smell. To help regain your sense of smell, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages. Additionally, you can use a steroid nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. It's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes of your loss of smell. In some cases, seeing an ENT specialist may be necessary for further evaluation and treatment.
