I'm about a month post-septoplasty, and my nose still keeps getting blocked. Sometimes it's the left nostril, and other times it's the right one. Why does this keep happening, and when can I expect things to get back to normal?

I was laughing at a joke and inhaled quickly, and the chewing gum I was eating accidentally went down my throat. I'm not entirely sure if it went through my food pipe, but now I have a cloggy sensation in my throat, maybe because I coughed a lot trying to clear it. Im worried it might be stuck in my windpipe or somewhere near my throat bone. I don't have any breathing issues, cough, or fever, but the feeling is unsettling. Is it possible the gum got stuck in my windpipe, or could there be another reason for this sensation?

Its unlikely that the chewing gum went into your lungs, especially since you're not experiencing breathing problems or a cough. The sensation in your throat is likely due to irritation from coughing or mucus, not the gum being stuck in your windpipe. If the discomfort persists, its always a good idea to check with a doctor for peace of mind.

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with a high pitch voice that lacks resonance. People often mistake me for a woman over the phone, and it's frustrating. I haven't seen a doctor about this yet, and I'm also dealing with essential tremor. Are there any exercises or treatments that could help with these issues?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice modulation issues. You can try using voice therapy techniques to improve your voice quality. Additionally, you can use medications like Botox injections to help with essential tremors. For voice modulation, you can try speech therapy exercises and vocal warm-ups. For essential tremors, you can consider taking Propranolol. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Can I still hit the gym with a deviated septum or should I wait until after my laser surgery this year I'm worried it might make breathing harder during workouts

It's generally recommended to wait until after your deviated septum surgery to resume strenuous exercise, like hitting the gym, to allow for proper healing and minimize the risk of complications like bleeding. The severity of the deviation and the type of surgery will influence the recovery timeline, but it's usually best to avoid vigorous activity for at least a few weeks
