Hello Doctor,
I have been facing a persistent issue of sticky throat, especially in the morning. When I spit after waking up, thick, yellowish, thread-like mucus comes out. Sometimes, I also notice small round food particles along with the mucus. While swallowing, my throat feels coated and sticky.
My tongue is always whitish with some rashes/patches and feels heavy. Occasionally, I notice slight blood in my spit while brushing in the morning.
I had last year treated H pylori , but symptoms still persist.
Could this be due to throat infection, sinus issue, acidity (GERD), or something else? Is it related to my previous H. pylori infection? What could be the reason for food particles in spit and white tongue coating?
Please suggest possible diagnosis, required tests, and treatment.
Thank you.
Hey doc, i have ocd so i did frequent intentional coughs. And got bleeding like in august,December 2025 once.
Then in january and march 2026 once.
Whenever I do not cough I don't get any blood.
During feb 27- march 5 2026, i had a cold and cough. At that time I didn't get any blood.
Is it normal to get a little streak whenever we cough hard and intentionally many times?
I also have a history of smoking from
2019-2022= 3 a day
2024 aug-2026 march= 9 a day.
So I was worried that maybe my smoking had caused CA.
My 15 year old son has adenoid hyperthropy with enlarged tonsil of right side, acute pharyngitis and rhinosinustis, mouth breathing with obstructive sleep apnea level 2..he has cold and cough symptoms mainly in rainy season and recurrent infection and antibiotic course.In winter and summer he is okay, less to no infection..Is it due to adenoids or tonsils or allergies .Currently SLIT immunotherapy has been started.. Is this therapy enough or what other treatment can help him..
My thought hurts when I drink cold stuff or eat sweets like laddu, jam or grapes. I have been avoiding these things but due to hot weather, I need to drink cold water or juice. Similarly, due to sweet cravings, I eat sweets sometimes. What can I do? I just finished a course of Azithral 5 tablets. Still throat is hurting as if some sharp object is there. Kindly advise.
I noticed a red small red circular spot on the left tonsil from 5-6 days. There are no other symptoms like fever, no throat pain, no cough. Can you please tell me what could be the cause and whether I need any treatment or it is something that usually go away on its own?
