Ive been dealing with this persistent dry cough for years, and I just found out it might be because of an elongated uvula. It keeps tickling and triggering these coughing fits. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do about it or if theres a way to get some relief?

I've been dealing with constant headaches and facial pain for years. My PNS CT report shows mild polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses and a Haller cell that's blocking the maxillary antral infundibuli. Both my inferior nasal turbinates are thickened too. I've tried so many medications and nasal sprays but nothing helps. Should I consider sinus surgery for this? And do you know roughly how much sinus surgery costs?

I was diagnosed with sulcus vocalis in my right vocal cord and my doctor recommended voice therapy for a month but also mentioned surgery as an option. Can voice therapy alone fix this permanently or is surgery really necessary? I'm worried about going under the knife if therapy could work just as well.
