Question

I'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?

Question

I'm experiencing this weird echo whenever I talk. It's like I'm hearing my own voice bouncing back at me, and I can hear it when others speak too. If I close one ear, it feels clogged, but at least the echo stops. But with both ears open, my left one feels blocked and the echo comes back. I'm not really sure what's going on. Do you think I should see an ENT specialist about this?

Question

Yesterday, my mom had a bit of blood in her sputum, but it just happened once. She's been dealing with some throat issues lately. Could this be related to her throat problem?
