Sniffling and Snorting noises from Husband

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello there, im fed up of hearing my husband constantly sniffing through his nose and grunting and clearing his throat. What could be the cause? Its so annoying and sounds horrible. Thank you!

Dear Joanne: Hello, your husbands Throat clearing could be explained by different origins but one thing is common, its due to clearing out of mucous, or perceived mucous, from ones throat or the area behind the tongue down to the vocal cords. However the most common causes could be explained by allergies, sinusitis or rhinitis if the presence of post nasal drip is noticed, Tonsillitis might also be one possibility.A good examination done by an ENT might be necessary to rule out the exact diagnosis and possibly the need of Antihistamines might be suggested by your physician. I wish him a prompt recovery.

What are they symptoms of a miscarriage?

Dear Ask The Doctor: What are they symptoms of a miscarriage?

Dear ED: Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage and occur because the fetus isn't developing normally.
Vaginal spotting or bleeding (although spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy is fairly common), Pain or cramping in your abdomen or lower back and Fluid or tissue passing from your vagina are common signs and symptoms found in miscarriage. Also body aches; fever and chills can be found. When these symptoms are present usually before the 12th week of pregnancy, a visit to the doctor is granted to rule out this possibility.
