I've been noticing blood in the mucus from my left nostril for the past two days, but the right nostril doesn't have any mucus at all. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough. Although, I did have a headache about a week ago, but that's gone now. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I've been having some trouble with my throat over the past year. It started with it getting really dry at night, even though I'm drinking a lot of water. Then, a few weeks ago, these solid white sticky stones started forming near my tonsils. They smelled really bad, but I managed to remove them a couple of times using a toothbrush and cotton stick when they got to about 0.25cm. But now, it feels like there's a bigger stone deeper in my throat that I just can't reach or see, even with a mirror. Gargling with salt water and coughing hasn't helped at all, and it's so uncomfortable when I eat or drink. I'm not sure if it's the same kind of stone growing back or something else entirely. What do you think it could be, and what can I do about it?

My eardrum has a hole in it and I heard it's called a ruptured eardrum. I'm not sure whether I should go for medicines or surgery to fix this - which treatment works better and what are the risks of each option?
Most ruptured (perforated) eardrums heal without treatment within a few weeks. Your provider may prescribe antibiotic drops if there's evidence of infection. If the tear or hole in the eardrum doesn't heal by itself, treatment will likely involve procedures to close the tear or hole.
