I'm a heavy snorer at 46 years old, 5'10 and 89 kgs. I've been using a CPAP machine but find it uncomfortable. Different ENTs have given me mixed advice some recommend surgery while others say I should lose weight. Is there a permanent solution for snoring that actually works?

Snoring with CPAP intolerance can be treated with UPPP or weight loss‚ÄîENT evaluation with sleep study is key.

Question

I've been dealing with this dry cough for the past 10 days and I went to see a doctor. They gave me antibiotics and anti-allergy meds, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The doctor checked and said my chest and throat are clear. A few days ago, they suggested I use betadine solution for gargling, but my voice is still blocked and this dry cough just won't go away. Any idea what might be going on or what else I should try?

Question

I'm feeling really uneasy because my throat is swollen and it's making it really hard for me to talk or swallow food. On top of that, my heart feels like it's burning and I can't even sit comfortably in a room. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on or how I can find some relief?

Question

I'm really worried about my husband. His neck is swollen on the left side, behind the ear, and it doesn't hurt. Our ENT specialist did a fine needle test and the microscopy report says there's no sign of cassation granuloma or malignancy. They mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid aspirate and advised excision if there's clinical suspicion for Koch's. Can you help explain what all this means? We also tried two weeks of antibiotics and the swelling seems to be getting smaller. I'm trying to understand if we should still be concerned.
