I'm experiencing a bit of hoarseness in my voice that I'm thinking might be from all the shouting I did recently. There's some swelling in my voice box, and I'm wondering if I should consider getting an endoscopy on my throat. What do you think? Is it necessary, or could it be something that'll just go away on its own?

I'm down to just one cigarette a day, but it's causing me some pretty annoying throat pain and itching that lasts a while. A doctor gave me mucaine gel mint last year. Do you think it's cool to keep using that?

Yes you can use that gel but try to quit smoking as that is the triggering factor.

I've been dealing with tonsillitis for a while nowit's really frustrating. The ENT specialist gave me Oratil 500, Rabemac, and Allegra, which worked at first. But now, the symptoms are back. Should I repeat the same treatment? The doctor also mentioned the possibility of removing my tonsillitis glands. Is that a safe option? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what to do next.

yes this could be recurrent tonsillitis if it is so better get it removed.visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm having a really hard time hearing because my ear is blocked with wax. I've never really used cotton buds or pins to clean my ears since I was a kid, but now I feel like I might need to. I'm really worried about damaging my eardrums, though. Is there another way to get rid of the wax without using buds or pins? I'd really appreciate any advice on what I can do.

You can use DEWAX ear drops that will dissolve the wax, do not attmept to remove it by yourself visit ENT doctor for ear toileting or vaccum aspiration.
