I'm a guy but my voice sounds really high-pitched and feminine is there any way to fix this? Could it be hormonal or would I need some kind of surgery to change it?

I've been dealing with pharyngitis and had a throat culture done, which showed klebsiella pneumoniae present. I took antibiotics, and while some symptoms have improved, others linger. How can I know for sure if the bacteria is completely gone, and could the pharyngitis be caused by something else? If I get a repeat culture test and it comes back negative, does that definitely mean the bacteria is gone, or is there a chance it's still there but just not growing right now? Could you clarify this for me?

I've been having a mildly sore throat pretty frequently these days, and I've found that gargling with betadine really helps. But I'm a bit concerned and curious - is it safe to use betadine for gargling every night, or could there be any long-term issues with using it often? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Using Betadine for gargling every night can be safe for short periods of time. However, prolonged and frequent use may lead to irritation of the throat and oral mucosa. It is recommended to use it for a maximum of 7-14 days. If your symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
