I've been seeing streaks of blood when I clear my throat in the mornings after waking up, and I've also felt like I'm going to vomit. There's this mild pain in my throat, but it doesn't bother me when I'm swallowing solids or liquids. I had a CT scan done for the PNS area and they didn't find anything unusual. Do I need to be worried about this? What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my ear. I had a tympanoplasty about a month ago, and now I'm noticing pus coming from the area. Could this mean that the surgery didn't work, or maybe there's a rupture? I followed all the post-op care instructions my doctor gave me. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can get better?

That could have got reinfected,you have to use one more course of antibiotics, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

I was using a cotton ear bud and now the cotton part got stuck in my ear canal! The stick came out but the cotton's still in there and it's starting to hurt a little. Any idea on how I can safely get it out?

Visit your ENT doctor immediately to remove it,don't make any attempts by yourself to remove it.
