I've noticed that sometimes when I spit in the morning, there's a little bit of blood in it. But after one or two spits, everything seems normal. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that happens sometimes?

My uvula is really big and pointy, and sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing my nose to block up? Is surgery needed for something like this?

my brother has otosclerosis in both ears and the doctor recommended surgery is the surgery safe or are there any other medicine options we can try first

Otosclerosis surgery, like stapedectomy, is generally safe and effective, with a high success rate of improving hearing. However, there's a chance of complications, and non-surgical options like hearing aids and medications can be explored first.

I've been dealing with mouth breathing and waking up with a dry mouth around 4am, which sometimes leaves my throat sore. Could this be sleep apnea? It started about 5 months ago, around the same time I gained 5kg. An ENT recommended nose surgery and a CT scan, but I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary or if it's just a breathing issue

Yes, waking up with a dry mouth, sore throat, and mouth breathing could indicate sleep apnea, especially given the weight gain and timing of the symptoms. The ENT's recommendation for nose surgery and a CT scan is a normal step in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, but surgery isn't always the first or only option
