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 a bit confused and worried about the results from my recent CT scan. It mentioned complete opacification of the left maxillary antrum and polypoid thickening on the right side. Could you help me understand what this means?

Question

Can any bug actually make its way to the brain through the ear? Kind of like how a tapeworm can reach the brain through eating cabbage? Ive been curious if there's any risk like that with insects.

Question

I'm really worried about this situation with my nose. I recently saw an ENT doctor who did a full face x-ray and said that the bone on one side of my nostril is bent, which is blocking a bit of the airway and leaving very little space to breathe on that side. He gave me some medicine for 10 days, but I'm unsure if this will actually help in straightening the bone or if surgery might be necessary. I've been feeling really weak and I think it's because I'm not getting enough oxygen. What should I do?
