Hey guys, I had a quick question. I went to my ent a few months ago for a pharyngoscopy and he said my nasal passages were fine, no tumors, a tiny bit of redness in the end of the nasal passage by the throat but nothing to be alarmed about.
then i went last week for a chest x ray and again, nothing out of the ordinary. no tumors nothin, nada, zilch.
so he said it could be rhinitis.
i started using a neti pot and a&d ointment just inside the front part of the inside of the nose.
the blood in my sputum started to lessen greatly.
anyway, here's the thing, i spit this morning for a while and it was clear for the first 5-6 times. then i thought "hey why dont i hack up harder and try to really spit this time" then i did that for a while and it was clear still. then after the 10-11th time i started to see a tiny dot of pink the size of a period on a standard keyboard. then i kept spitting and tryin to hack up more loogies and it got pinker and pinker. eventually i sneezed and saw a hairline of fresh blood the length of an eye lash.
anyway, it seems that unless i really hack up some spit it doesn't appear. is this something to worry about? and what other tests could i get?
btw, my throat is always itchy all day long, and my nose and throat are always dry in the mornings. do you think this could be serious? or just allergies?
also, sorry to make this so long, but i have had a history of harsh nose blowing and coughing in the past from routine colds that i would get very often. i mean, i would blow my nose so much and so loud that people would say "hey! knock it off". maybe it's the post nasal drip? i really dont know.
i'm only 25 years old but i'd like to hear what you might have to say. i used to smoke but i quit a few months ago because i found them becoming expensive.
