I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

I've noticed these yellowish bumps at the back of my throat, but weirdly, there's no pain. Also, my mouth is looking kinda white. There's no issue with swallowing or eating, but I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any insights on this would be great.

A small amount of blood while coughing can be alarming. In a 32-year-old non-smoker, possible causes include: - Minor throat irritation or injury - Dry air or allergies - Acute bronchitis However, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out: - Underlying infections (e.g., pneumonia) - Throat ulcers or lesions - Other medical conditions Schedule a doctor's appointment for a proper evaluation and guidance.
