I'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?

View allI'm really struggling with a chronic dry cough that's been bothering me for 23 years now. I have these intense coughing fits and throat irritation at least 10 times a day, and it's really getting to me mentally and even makes my muscles hurt. I don't smoke or drink and my chest X-ray was all clear. They've found DNS and sinusitis through a nasal endoscopy, and I can't help but wonder if they're causing the chronic cough. I've tried meds for GERD and allergies, and while cough medicine helps a bit, the cough always comes back just as strong. Could you please share some insights because I'm really at a loss here?
take treatment for sinusitis, reduce the infection.

I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma in my left ear and there's a growth that needs to be removed. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other treatment options or if surgery is the only way to get rid of it completely. Is there anything else that can be done?
cholesteatoma surgery also known as mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty ,a surgical procedure to remove non caancerous skin growth in the middle ear.

I've been experiencing this weird fluttering sound in my ear for the past two days, but it only happens when I use my earphones or talk on the phone. The strange part is that it's in the opposite ear from the one I'm using. What could this be? Should I be concerned?
This fluttering sound in your ear could be due to a condition called Tinnitus. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to clean your ears in case there is any blockage causing the sound. Additionally, you can take Tab. Betahistine to help with the symptoms. If the issue persists, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
