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 feeling like there's always mucus in my throat for the past few months, and I usually end up spitting it out. Lately, I've noticed that it feels like I might throw up in the mornings because of it. I'm also wondering if it might be getting stuck somewhere in my chest. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I keep getting these small whitish yellow stones on my tonsils is there any way to stop them without surgery or is surgery the only option

Yes, it's possible to reduce or prevent tonsil stones without surgery. Improving oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash, can significantly minimize their formation. Additional methods like gargling with warm saltwater or using a water pick can help dislodge existing stones
