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've noticed these yellowish bumps at the back of my throat, but weirdly, there's no pain. Also, my mouth is looking kinda white. There's no issue with swallowing or eating, but I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any insights on this would be great.

A small amount of blood while coughing can be alarming. In a 32-year-old non-smoker, possible causes include: - Minor throat irritation or injury - Dry air or allergies - Acute bronchitis However, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out: - Underlying infections (e.g., pneumonia) - Throat ulcers or lesions - Other medical conditions Schedule a doctor's appointment for a proper evaluation and guidance.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable because I gargled too much with salt water about a week ago, and now my throat is all scratchy and looks white inside. I've taken some meds, but they havent helped at all. My lips are super dry, and I've even lost my sense of taste. I dont have any cough, cold, or fever, but this throat issue is making me feel really uneasy. When I look in the mirror, my throat looks all patchy and it even burns inside. I'm really concerned about this because I've never felt anything like it before. Any idea whats going on or what I should do?

It sounds like the excessive saltwater gargling might have irritated your throat, leading to dryness and discomfort. To help, try drinking plenty of water, avoid further saltwater gargles, and use a humidifier to keep the air moist. If the burning sensation and dryness persist, a throat soothing lozenge or mild throat spray may help. If symptoms continue, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I have a deviated nasal septum causing breathing issues especially through my left nostril. The doctors at AIIMS Delhi suggested surgery and shared a diagnosis report. Can you explain the risks versus benefits of this surgery, possible complications, and how much it might cost?
