Question 1

I've been noticing that there's occasionally blood in the mucus from my nose, and it's been happening over the last couple of months, every 10 to 15 days or so. I'm starting to worry a bit and was wondering if you could suggest anything to help with this?

Accepted Answer

Occasional blood in the nose mucus can be due to various reasons such as dry air, allergies, or nasal infections. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. It's also important to avoid picking your nose and to gently blow your nose when needed. If the problem persists, you can consider using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Afrin (oxymetazoline) for a few days, but be sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.

Question 3

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?
