I'm having some issues with my voice. Sometimes, people can't hear me well, and other times it sounds like my voice splits into two different tonesone thin and one thick. It's been quite confusing, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice changes. This could be due to various reasons such as vocal strain, throat infections, or other underlying medical conditions. To help improve your voice quality, you can try using lozenges like Strepsils for soothing the throat and reducing inflammation. Additionally, you can use steam inhalation with menthol (such as Vicks) to help with any congestion or irritation in the throat. If the issue persists, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

My 4-year-old son has grade 3 to 4 adenoids for the last 9 months. He weighs 14.6 kg and has had no fever or infections except once last month. His only symptom is slight mouth breathing without snoring. Is surgery really necessary, and if so, what's the least painful option for him?

While slight mouth breathing and grade 3-4 adenoids in a 4-year-old can indicate a potential issue, adenoidectomy (surgery to remove the adenoids) is not always necessary. In many cases, enlarged adenoids resolve on their own, especially as the child grows. A qualified ENT doctor should assess your child's specific situation and symptoms to determine the best course of action

I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.

I've been dealing with pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear since 2013, and it all started when I had my right wisdom tooth removed. I also suffer from TMJ. The doctor mentioned I should get an MRI to check for any tumors, but nothing was found. I'm wondering, do I really need to keep getting MRIs over and over again? I'm just a bit concerned and looking for some advice.
