I've been dealing with puberphonia and voice therapy didn't help me much when I tried it a few months back. I'm thinking about surgery now and want to find a good ENT throat surgeon in Chennai who can do this procedure in the next few months. Any recommendations or advice on what to expect?

I've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?

You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.

My 5.5-year-old has been getting ear pain every few months, and three different ENT specialists recommended adenoid removal and grommets for fluid based on audiometry and impedance tests. We're hesitant about surgery at his age how do we know if the pain or frequency is severe enough to really need it?

Based on the recommendations of multiple ENT specialists and the presence of recurrent ear pain, the advice to remove adenoids and insert grommets is likely due to chronic ear infections and/or glue ear (fluid buildup in the middle ear).

I'm experiencing a bit of hoarseness in my voice that I'm thinking might be from all the shouting I did recently. There's some swelling in my voice box, and I'm wondering if I should consider getting an endoscopy on my throat. What do you think? Is it necessary, or could it be something that'll just go away on its own?

it can be due to vocal nodules you can diagnose it by laryngoscopy
