I've been noticing a bit of blood when I spit in the mornings, but it's not a regular thing and it isn't accompanied by any coughing. An ENT specialist mentioned it might be due to dryness. I'm also dealing with a mild fatty liver, but otherwise, I've been feeling okay. I'm in my 30s and just curious if there's anything else I should be considering or doing about this?

I was eating dinner tonight and ended up coughing with food still in my mouth. Now I feel like there might be a tiny piece of food stuck in my sinus area because it mildly burns, and I've been producing quite a lot of mucus. Should I just wait for it to clear up on its own, or do you think I should see a doctor?

That would go on its own, do salt water gargling twice a day,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

My 5.5-year-old has been getting ear pain every few months, and three different ENT specialists recommended adenoid removal and grommets for fluid based on audiometry and impedance tests. We're hesitant about surgery at his age how do we know if the pain or frequency is severe enough to really need it?

Based on the recommendations of multiple ENT specialists and the presence of recurrent ear pain, the advice to remove adenoids and insert grommets is likely due to chronic ear infections and/or glue ear (fluid buildup in the middle ear).
