blood in back of throat

[scared605]

Latley I have been feeling the constant taste of blood in the back of my mouth. I know it's blood not a metallicy taste. I was at a restaurant and coughed for a few minutes over the toilet and a few drops of blood came out. For the last 2 mnts just the taste is always there.

I have had a lung x-ray and ct (clear), sinus CT (clear) head CT (clear) and the ENT looked into the nose etc not findings. They keeping saying it might be mild sinusitus that would not show up on the CT but I don't know. I recently was diagnosed with high grade acid reflux at 34 so could this be coming from below?

now am scared :(

swollen? but it's not even painful.
my right ear is itching..
feels something is stuck in my throat...
should i not really be worried about chronic infammation pattern with fibrosis doc?

STOP TOUCHING IT!!!!!

give yourself a break and don't touch it for a day or 2 and check it then

if it's persistently swollen for a few weeks, go see your doc!

I love Spain. My plans to further study art got postponed 3 times already and i will be very disappointed with my self if i dont get to fly there next year.

and global warming...i am in many ways guilty of contributing to it...having dengue was my punishment lol!

Doc, this thing under my jaw really is annoying me already.
like right now my throat is  sore...a lil acidic and my neck is a lil tight!
the enlarged node feels a lil bigger  ( yeah i touched it again)
was it just coincidental then that someone is burning dried leaves here and i ate something spicy and had a glass of coke? i mean could they really trigger this?

Spain, how delightful.  Much nicer than rain from La Nina...

I'm doing my best to counteract global warming by riding my segway to work, over 600 miles now.

Good luck at the gym!  Tell us how it goes and you may get me to go back too...

Global Warming Doc...while the rest of the world is experiencing drought...some parts of Asia are experiencing heavy rains. LA NIñA as we call it here and am beginning to hate it already coz i havent seen sunshine in days.

I will go back to the gym and try to get better!
I want all these Maladies gone before i go study in Spain. ------Thank You Very Much :)

Stop exercising your neck, and start exercising your feet!

Pay more attention to getting rid of your pre-diabetes by exercising and losing weight and you'll do much more for your health than worrying about this enlarged node.

You're in Philippines?  I thought the rainy season was in the June-Sept timeframe?

God bless you!
