Question

I've been diagnosed with vocal cord nodules through endoscopy, and my voice isn't sounding right. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm really worried can this be treated without surgery? I work in sales, so my voice is important. If surgery is necessary, could you suggest a good ENT surgeon in Delhi? Also, will my voice recover fully after the surgery? I've attached a picture of my vocal cord nodules for reference.

Vocal cord nodules can often be managed without surgery through voice therapy and behavioral changes. If voice therapy isn't successful, surgery might be necessary, but most people with nodules can achieve good results with non-surgical methods. Many factors can influence recovery, including the severity of the nodules, individual healing rates, and adherence to post-operative care

Question

I'm experiencing what I think might be acid reflux, and I've been noticing some blood mixed in my saliva but only in the mornings, and it's worrying me a bit. I'm not coughing at all, but my throat's been feeling sore all day, and there's this constant salty taste in my mouth. Also, now and then I cough up some yellowish mucus. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

Question

How long does it usually take for a mild eardrum retraction to heal on its own? Are there any treatments to help it resolve completely or would surgery be the only option for a full cure?

Question

I'm really worried about this swollen lymph node behind my ear that's been there for 2 months. I went to my GP a month ago, and they told me to wait another month, and if it didnt go down, to see a specialist. Ive got an appointment with a head and neck doctor, but it won't be for another month. Is it bad to wait that long if it turns out to be something serious like cancer? Could delaying by a month affect my prognosis? Should I start calling around to see if I can get in earlier? It's not painful and feels firm and round, about an inch in size. Im 23, female, and don't have any other symptoms. What should I do?
