I’ve been coughing up blood today, and brown mucus prior to this. The blood is mixed with mucus, bright red and bubbly. It has eased for now, and the quantity of blood wasn’t a lot either. Also, I’m a smoker, there’s no one with TB or fever or anything around me. The brown mucus is there for around a week and the blood just started today. What should I do? And honestly, should I be worried? Pls let me knew whether I should worry or not.
Hi there, I’m a 19 year old female and I’ve been having some trouble breathing through my nose. I am able to breathe in relatively fine, but when I try to exhale through my nose it’s like my sinuses are completely clogged. It’s almost like a flap is allowing me to breathe in, but not out. Nothing helps this problem– medication, forcing myself to breathe through my nose, neti pot, decongestants…I’ve tried everything. This isn’t a constant thing, but it happens from time to time and doesn’t go away for days or weeks. I sound all plugged up, food tastes bad, my ears won’t stop popping. What is wrong with me and what would I do?

72 years, male, Re cataract surgery.
Surgery all set to go tomorrow 8 AM.
Problem I forgot to take the eye drops until 4pm today. I should have been taking 3 times a day from Monday through today.
Drops are Ciprofloxacin.3%, Ketorolac .4%, Prednisone AC 1%.
Am I putting myself at great risk by going ahead with the Surgery? Would risk be reduced if I take drops every 2 hours until midnight tonight?
I take Prednisone for R/A. Would taking an increased dose from 5 MG help.
I used ultra chloraseptic spray on my 7 year old daughter and didn’t realise she had to hold her breath. She inhaled (gently, normal or even lighter breathing while I tried to get the back of her throat) on two or three occasions of using the spray. It was a few weeks ago, I didn’t think anything of it at the time but on closer inspection of the instructions when using it on her big brother today, I see it is vital to hold your breath. I am worried now that I may have caused her problems and googling answers is not helping my nerves… she has shown no signs of any concern but I wonder if I need to look out for anything?
Sometimes my vision in my left eye goes away for about 5 min. Then comes back, it’s happened about 3 times now to me, first everything starts going dark around my eye then it closes in where i can’t see anything in my left eye, then i also get very bad migraines and doctors have tried me on pretty much everything and nothing helps.
I’m (…). My younger brother that is 1 year and 7 months has a medical problem. He swallowed a battery and it has affected his Esophagus. He now has a blockage in his Esophagus which now makes him unable to swallow any thing. An operation was done for him in the hospital in which they opened his esophagus and put a pipe in it that can enable food to pass in through when he eats but right now, the pipe did not work and instead, it got worse. I really need your help and advice, Doctor. What can be done to this for his Esophagus to open and work properly so he can eat. His blockage of Esophagus is making him thin and he is getting worse. My brother’s esophagus needs to open for him to eat properly. I need an advice Please, and I will be very grateful if you receive this message and reply me.
Hello I’m a sixty year old femail . I have been experiencing sharp lancing pain behind my right ear in the mastoid area for some months. My GP sent me for physio and I had six session and three sessions of acupuncture. Pilates was recommended. I had my first Pilates class yesterday, I had no pain during or later that day. This morning I awoke with the sharp pains and have experienced this all day , now I have the pain if I touch the area, I have not had this before. The pain is sharp shooting and very frightening. Thank you
Hi i am dealing with a throat bacterial infection, my doctor prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medication. This has been going on since last friday and just last night i noticed that my ears have begun to feel clogged. This morning now only one ear wont pop, it clearly feels like i have a fluid or something in my ear. Do you think the throat infection has anything to do with it ? What other medication would you recommend ?
I have a lipoma just above my right temple. I suffer with headaches/migraines frequently, could the lipoma be the cause? My doctor brushed me off and just prescribed me a nasal spray for the migraines. 90% of them start near the site of the lump. She told me that it would not be the cause, although since her poking about it has started another migraine. I have been suffering with these migraines for around 2 years. Have had my eyes checked twice since Nov 2015. I am also having bad mood swings, tiredness. I have been ill with 2 different colds in the last month.
I am 35 years old and female.

Hello. I was choked about 3 days ago. It was done 3-4 times for about 4-7 seconds each. I now have difficulty swallowing, soar throat and feels like a pressure around the front of my neck consistently. Until this morning
(Day 4/5) I feel a bit funny- my vision seems fine, i seem to be thinking fine but i feel things are very slightly weird/uncomfortable/fuzzy for example when I am looking at the computer screen. The left side of my throat is where it is the most painfil and my left ear seems a bit off. I felt a sharp pain in my right ear about twice today. These sound serious but there are no visible marks.
Hi, my name is (…), I’m 23 years old. I have a nasal cyst which is caused by teeth.
About 11 years ago I had an operation. They cut my gum and removed the pus. And about 1,5 years they found a new cyst. I can’t really breath as it has grown quiet a lot and my nasal septum twisted.
Is there any way how to cure it without operation?
I tried Nasonex for about 1 month but it didn’t work for me.
Now I’m taking some ayurvedic medicines: manjishta, septilin, neem, kanchnar and lakshadi for teeth
(I alredy have some hole inside the gum)
