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?

View allI'm feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat. It seems to get better when I eat something hot or drink hot water. I saw a GP and got some Coldact and an acidity tablet, but I'm not understanding why it keeps coming back. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I'm trying to figure out how to use this povidone iodine germicide gargle. I visited the ENT hospital, and they gave me some Betadine. How do I use it properly? Is there anything specific I should know or be careful about when using it?
To use povidone iodine germicide gargle, such as Betadine, follow these instructions: Dilute the Betadine solution with an equal amount of water before using it as a gargle. Gargle with the diluted solution for 30 seconds to 1 minute. - Do not swallow the solution; spit it out after gargling. Use the gargle as directed by your healthcare provider, usually 2-4 times a day. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after using the gargle. This will help in reducing bacteria and germs in your mouth and throat.

My 5.5-year-old has been getting ear pain every few months, and three different ENT specialists recommended adenoid removal and grommets for fluid based on audiometry and impedance tests. We're hesitant about surgery at his age how do we know if the pain or frequency is severe enough to really need it?
Based on the recommendations of multiple ENT specialists and the presence of recurrent ear pain, the advice to remove adenoids and insert grommets is likely due to chronic ear infections and/or glue ear (fluid buildup in the middle ear).
