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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with allergic rhinitis since 2006 and usually take allercet tablets when needed, sometimes with flomist nasal spray though it doesn't always work. I'm worried about long-term side effects of taking allercet regularly - are there any risks? Mornings are the worst with constant sneezing, runny nose and itchy red eyes. The allercet makes me feel drowsy too. Are there better treatment options or even surgery that could help me live more normally without these symptoms
Long-term Allercet use may cause drowsiness; consider immunotherapy or consulting an ENT for possible surgical correction of chronic allergic rhinitis.

I've noticed that whenever I sneeze, blood mixed with saliva comes out of my mouth. Plus, I often wake up at night with throat pain. It's really concerning me, and I'm curious to know what might be causing this. Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do about it?
This may be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, or infections. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air, gargling with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge or spray to help with the throat pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and my nose is completely blocked. Luckily, I don't have a fever right now. I currently have some crocin cold and flu tablets, but I recently heard that they might be banned by the government. Is it still safe for me to take them? I don't have any other medication on hand.
Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.
