If no: further bleeding or coughing then observation for symptoms

Question 6

had phlegm for last 2 months, no coughing just clearing throat of the phlegm. green in colour, little blood streaks on 1 or 2 occasions.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like : Your allergies are acting up causing postnatal drainage and bad itching . Hence clearing of your throat and irritating your mucosa then occasional blood streaks . Get some OTC allergy  meds and nasal spray like nasacort (triamcinolone) AQ or fluticasone . Use as directed.

Question 7

See ENT: At your young age, you probably have some generalized rhinitis, but since it has been 4 years, you need to see the Dr. (preferably an ENT) to evaluate it.  Good luck.

Question 8

Well: Any type of abnormal bleeding can be from a serious cause. Consult primary care doctor for specific diagnosis and treatment or ear nose and throat Doctor

Question 9

i was diagnosed with strep throat and i felt a little pop in my neck now i have white puss brown stuff and blood coming out what happened?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node infection: Presumably this is outside the mouth, maybe on the neck? It sounds like you have a seriously infected lymph node that now is draining. You should see a doctor ASAP:  you probably need an antibiotic (perhaps a diffeent one than given for your strep throat), and perhaps minor surgery to assure complete drainage. Good luck.

Question 10

earlier,  i spit when it was a little pink as if  had blood my throat is a bit irritate  and now i spit everythin is good could be what should i go er?

Accepted Answer

Ignore it for now: If this recurs unassociated with an upper respiratory infection or injury, an office visit would be in order.
