I'm really confused and concerned about this pinkish sputum I've been noticing in the mornings. None of the tests so far have pinpointed what's causing it. My PNS CT scan doesn't show any major sinus issues, and both my chest CT scan and nasal and throat endoscopies came back normal. The only thing they found was some minor erosions in my esophagus during the endoscopy, which got me a grade A diagnosis and some medications. But even with medication, the pinkish sputum hasn't gone away. My doctor mentioned it's unlikely the blood would come from my esophagus to my mouth. I've also done a CBC blood test, and everything looks normal. When this all started, I had mild rhinitis symptoms, and my ENT suggested it might be an allergy, so I took 1 zadonase and nasal spray for a month, but that didn't help either. I'm just at a loss and looking for any advice or insight you might have on this. What else could it be, or what should I consider looking into next?

I'm dealing with asthma and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take something like Alprazolam (Alp). Am I capable of managing this? Would you advise against it? I'm a bit worried and really need some guidance on this.

I've been told to take monticope tablets for a month, and I've noticed I'm about 50% better now. But the doctor said to stop after one month, even though my pharmacist suggested continuing for another month for better results. I'm a bit confused about what to do should I stick to my doctors advice or follow the pharmacist's recommendation? Id really appreciate your thoughts on this.

stop the usage of monticope
