I've been noticing that there's occasionally blood in the mucus from my nose, and it's been happening over the last couple of months, every 10 to 15 days or so. I'm starting to worry a bit and was wondering if you could suggest anything to help with this?

Occasional blood in the nose mucus can be due to various reasons such as dry air, allergies, or nasal infections. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. It's also important to avoid picking your nose and to gently blow your nose when needed. If the problem persists, you can consider using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Afrin (oxymetazoline) for a few days, but be sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.

View allI can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?
Surgery is advised to the patient,also ent opinion is advised and the surgery is called polypectomy.

I'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm experiencing this persistent itching and some weird noises in my ear. There's also this internal skin pain that's kind of bothering me. When I talked to my surgeon, they said it's all normal, but I'm still worried. Is it really usual to have these symptoms after the surgery?
Usually it's not normal but in few cases healing process would cause those symptoms,no need to worry, follow your surgeons advice do not attempt to scratch or massage it.
