My 13-year-old daughter has been having these blood clots coming out of her nose and she's even coughing them up too. They vary in size from a quarter to bigger than her hand. She had her nose cauterized about a month ago, but it's not helping. She's had this issue before, but it usually stopped within a week after the procedure. This time she's never had clots that she's coughed up. What's going on here and what should we do?

I'm doing gargling and taking steam every day. Today, I had my COVID-19 test because my parents tested positive. I don't have any symptoms, but about an hour after the test, I started spitting blood mixed with saliva, and it happened about ten times. Could this be because of the throat swab test since they took my sample from the throat?

Yes that could be due to throat swab test no need to worry you can ignore it,consume warm food aand maintain healthy life style

I got hit pretty hard right across my head and jaw area by my partner on Friday night, and ever since, the spot has been really red, throbbing, and warm. The next day, I felt like I had cotton stuck in my ear. I tried blowing out air while holding my nose, but nothing seems to happen; no air coming out or any whistling noise from my ear. There's been no discharge, but the pain has been constant for two days now. Could this affect my hearing? I'm really worried about what could be causing all of this.

Yes there could be mini malltrauma to any part of the middle ear,better get evaluated with ENT doctor and audiometry test done as soon as possible.
