Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

I'm experiencing some discomfort and would love your thoughts. My right ear pains a bit, and I've noticed that moving my neck causes pain on the right side. It also aches when I move my right shoulder and hand. On top of that, there's this odd feeling of weight around my upper mouth and right teeth. Any ideas on what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The combination of symptoms, including right ear pain, neck pain on the right side with movement, right shoulder and hand pain with movement, and a feeling of weight in the upper mouth and right teeth, suggests possible causes such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, trigeminal neuralgia, or referred pain from cervical spine or dental issues; consult a dentist, ENT specialist,

Question 3

I've been struggling with total hearing loss in one ear and hearing aids don't seem to work for me. Can you tell me more about cochlear implant surgery - like how it works, if I'd be a good candidate, and what the recovery process looks like? I'm really curious but also a bit nervous about the whole procedure.

Accepted Answer

Apollo is best for it.
