I've been dealing with silent reflux for the past 4 months, and nothing seems to help not even medications like esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or antacids. I've tried lifestyle changes too, but my sore throat won't go away, and my voice keeps getting worse because of vocal cord damage. I've heard mixed opinions about surgery for LPR some say it doesn't work. What do you suggest I do?

My ears have been clogged for days but my hearing is still fine. At first I didn't notice it much but now I realize my ears won't pop and there's constant pressure in both ears. An ENT doctor said one of my nasal passages is swollen which might be causing this. I've tried home remedies but the ear pressure and clogged feeling won't go away. Could this be a eustachian tube issue? Do I need surgery even though my hearing isn't affected?

septoplasty is advised,ent review.

I had throat pain a few days ago, and though that's gotten better, I've started having this cough. Also, I noticed a small flap-like skin beneath my tongue, deep in my throat. I think it's my epiglottis. Is it normal to be able to see the epiglottis? I don't seem to have any other symptoms but just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.

That could be chronic pharyngitis,no need to worry visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,consume warm foods and do salt water gargling for a better result.

I'm kind of worried about my recent neck x-ray. It showed enlarged adenoids, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be concerned about? I don't really have any symptoms, but I do feel like there's something swollen in my neck. Does this sound like something serious?

ince you are not currently experiencing significant symptoms, it is likely that the enlarged adenoids are not a cause for immediate concern. However, it is still a good idea to discuss your X-ray results with your doctor for further evaluation. They can help determine if any follow-up is needed or if simple measures can manage the condition effectively.
