Question 1

My dad has had a swollen throat for two years, and his voice changed because of it. A few months ago, a CT scan showed swollen vocal cords on both sides. The doctor prescribed meds and suggested minor surgery, but he didn't go through with it. Two days ago, he woke up coughing blood what could be causing this and what should we do next?

Accepted Answer

Coughing up blood, especially in someone with a history of throat issues and swollen vocal cords, is a serious symptom that requires immediate medical attention. While the cause could be related to the existing vocal cord condition, it could also indicate a more serious problem, like a tear or infection in the throat or even a potentially dangerous condition like throat cancer. It is imperative to seek emergency medical care right away.

Question 2

I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I've had surgery on my ear because there was this small hole, and before that, my ear kept getting wet. It's been 15 days since the surgery, and everything seemed fine, even though I had this heartbeat sound in my ear for the first 45 days. After 8 days, they took the dressing off, and it all seemed normal. But now, on the 14th day post-surgery, there's this non-stop vibrating noise in my ear. Does this mean my surgery didnt work as it should have? It was okay for over two months, and now this. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

After surgery such as tympanoplasty it is common to have symptoms such as your for atleast three weeks. It is not really abnormal. Complete recovery and healing may take upto three months. Unless pus starts coming out of your ears, you need not worry much
