I've been dealing with a fever and cold that started about a week ago. The fever and cold cleared up in two days, but now I'm stuck with this cough that wont go away. Its so bad I've lost my voice, and when it does come out, it's really weak. Im finding it hard to communicate properly. Do you have any advice on how to get my voice back and get rid of this persistent cough?

I had to have some teeth removed a few months back, and I've been having a rough time since. One of the teeth was near the back on the upper part, and ever since then, I've noticed this small hole where I can suck and push air through. Now I'm dealing with migraines almost daily and this awful smell coming from one nostril. There's also a lot of smelly mucus, and it seems to be running down the back of my throat, making me blow my nose like 25 times a day. Could this all be related to getting my teeth removed, and what should I do about it?

Without any further delay visit Dentist for appropriate management.

I've been having trouble swallowing food for the last couple of days, and I'm worried because I can actually feel my epiglottis when I touch behind my tongue. It's not really affecting my breathing, but swallowing feels weird. Could this be something serious?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I think I have a small soft palate and it's affecting my speech. A speech therapist recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if that's the only option. Could a small soft palate really cause speech issues and what are the alternatives to surgery?

Yes, a small soft palate, or velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), can indeed cause speech problems, particularly nasal sounding speech. While surgery is often recommended for VPI, it's not the only option, and other therapies can be effective. Speech therapy, prosthetic devices, and even biofeedback can help improve speech in many cases
