I've noticed that I'm seeing blood when I spit, especially in the mornings. Should I be concerned about this, and do you think I need any tests? How should I go about getting treatment for this?

Seeing blood while spitting can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation studies, and imaging studies may be recommended to determine the cause of the bleeding. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as tranexamic acid to help with clotting, antibiotics if there is an infection, or corticosteroids for inflammation. The dosage and duration of medication will depend on the specific diagnosis made by your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with post nasal drips for a while and was using Nasivion S spray and Montair LC, but now my new doctor switched me to Metaspray nasal spray and Histrafree 120 tablets. After taking them this morning, I noticed swelling and a discoloration on the roof of my mouth. Should I stop taking these meds or keep going with what the doctor prescribed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the new medications. The swelling and discoloration of the hard palate in your mouth could be a sign of an allergic response. I recommend stopping the Metaspray nasal spray and Tab Histrafree 120 immediately. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
