I've been noticing that whenever I sneeze, I see some thick blood coming from my nose. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this issue. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

Do you also get a blocked nose? Also, do you feel any trickle down your throat, phlegm in your throat and dry cough? If yes, this could be sinusitis that you are facing... Also, do you have any bleeding gums, blood in urine ir stool?

I've had this cold and cough going on since last Thursday, and my doctor put me on Azitab 500 for five days. I took a Covid test on Monday, and thankfully it came back negative. But now, since Tuesday, I can't smell or taste anything properly. It's frustrating because all I can taste is this constant sour flavor. Do you think I should get tested for Covid again?

Patient is advised to continue tab azitab 500mg for 5 days.

I've had a hoarse voice for 4 months and was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. The doctor prescribed meds for 10 days and suggested a voice test. Will my voice return to normal in 10 days or would I need surgery to get it back to normal

It's unlikely your voice will return to normal within 10 days of medication for vocal cord polyps. While medication can help reduce inflammation and swelling, complete recovery often requires more time and potentially other treatments like voice therapy or, in some cases, surgery to remove the polyps. The voice test is likely to assess the extent of the problem and guide further treatment.
