I've noticed that each time I bend over, drops of water seem to leak from my right nostril. It happens about 35 drops on average, and this pattern repeats every 15 to 20 days. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?

I've been having a mildly sore throat pretty frequently these days, and I've found that gargling with betadine really helps. But I'm a bit concerned and curious - is it safe to use betadine for gargling every night, or could there be any long-term issues with using it often? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Using Betadine for gargling every night can be safe for short periods of time. However, prolonged and frequent use may lead to irritation of the throat and oral mucosa. It is recommended to use it for a maximum of 7-14 days. If your symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm just a little concerned because while playing with my daughter, her head accidentally bumped into my wife's nose. It hurt her on the left side, but she said she felt fine after a bit. However, later at night, she noticed some blood spots when she blew her nose. There's no pain or constant bleeding, but the blood spots got us a bit worried. Is that something normal?
