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 sneezing thats pretty repetitive, almost four days a week. I also struggle with breathing issues, but its not constantsome weeks yes, other weeks no. Could this sneezing issue be because of a deviation in my nasal septum? When I tilt my head up, I can spot the deviation pretty easily. What do you think?

I'm really concerned about something and would appreciate your advice. I quit smoking two years ago, which felt great, but now I'm dealing with something else. Most of the time, my nose feels really congested. Occasionally, when I sniff and spit, I notice some blood in the mucus, even though I don't have a cough. Sometimes, when I'm trying to clear my nose manually, I also notice blood in the mucus. Is this normal, or could it be something serious that I should get checked out?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some nasal bleeding. The medical term for this is epistaxis. Nasal bleeding can be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, sinus infections, or nasal trauma. Since you have mentioned blood in your mucus without coughing, it is likely coming from your nasal passages. To help with the nasal bleeding and congestion, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. You can also apply a small amount of petroleum jelly inside your nostrils to prevent dryness. Avoid picking or blowing your nose too hard, as this can further irritate the nasal passages and lead to more bleeding. If the bleeding persists or if you have recurrent episodes of nasal bleeding, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a nasal decongestant like Oxymetazoline spray (e.g., Afrin) for temporary relief of nasal congestion. Follow the instructions on the package for proper dosage and duration of use. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors that can worsen nasal symptoms. If the bleeding becomes severe or if you experience other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

I've been dealing with this cough for 34 days now and it's getting really frustrating. On top of that, whenever I move my tongue or yawn, I get this strange pain in my tongue and ear. And when the earache gets really bad, it kind of feels like there's air trapped in my ears. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.
