I'm scheduled for septoplasty and turbinate reduction soon and want to understand the latest tech options. What's the difference between laser surgery and coblation for this procedure? Which one would be better for me in terms of recovery and results?

I'm a 27-year-old male nurse working in the surgery OT and I've been smoking cigarettes for the last 8 years. For the past 4 months, I've had granular pharyngitis and even after taking all the prescribed meds, it hasn't gone away. Now for the last month, I've been experiencing chest tightness could this be related to my throat issue or the smoking? What should I do next?

I've been feeling like I constantly need to clear my throat, it's been happening for the last five days and it's starting to bother me. I wonder if it might be related to some kind of gastric reflux, but I'm not really sure. There hasn't been any coughing or a cold involved, so I'm a bit puzzled about what's going on. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Your persistent need to clear your throat, without cough or cold, could be related to gastric reflux, as stomach acid can flow up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, but other possibilities include allergies, sinus issues, or environmental irritants, so consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
