My husband has a really minor sore throat. He doesn't smoke but he does drink sometimes. He's 32 and today he coughed up a tiny bit of blood. Should I be worried about this? Is it normal?

Frequent nosebleeds can be concerning.

Possible causes:

  • Dry air or low humidity
  • Allergies or sinus issues
  • High blood pressure
  • Nasal polyps or tumors
  • Blood thinning medications

To manage:

  • Use saline nasal sprays
  • Apply petroleum jelly to nostrils
  • Avoid blowing or picking your nose
  • Stay hydrated
  • Consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Talk to your provider if you have a condition or illness that increases your risk of vocal cord paralysis. These can include multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, or recent chest or neck surgery. Voice therapy may prevent your condition from worsening and improve your vocal cord function.

I've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?

You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.
