I'm curious about this recurring pain I've been experiencing around my throat and jaw. It happens about once a month and it really hurts, especially when I touch it from outside or move my head. A doctor mentioned it might be due to tonsillitis, but I don't have that sore throat feeling inside. It's only on the outside of my throat and jaw area. Could this really be tonsillitis, or could it be something else entirely?

Detection of thyroid nodules can be concerning.
Since your thyroid function tests (TFTs) are normal, it's a good sign.
Next steps:
- Consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist.
- Discuss Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or ultrasound-guided biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules.
- Follow-up appointments will help monitor the nodules' size and characteristics.
Stay calm, and follow your doctor's guidance.

View allI'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

When I use Duonase nasal spray, I notice it ends up in my throat after a while. Should I be swallowing it or is it better to spit it out?
If Duonase nasal spray drips into your throat after use, it is generally safe to swallow. However, if you find the taste unpleasant or if it's causing irritation, you can spit it out. Just ensure you follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

My nose is always stuffy because of allergies and my CT scan showed a blockage in my right nostril. The doctor recommended surgery using an advanced ENT navigator, saying it could turn into chronic sinusitis if I don't get it done. Are there any other treatments or alternative medicines I could try instead of surgery?
ent review is advised.
