I've been diagnosed with vocal cord nodules through endoscopy, and my voice isn't sounding right. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm really worried can this be treated without surgery? I work in sales, so my voice is important. If surgery is necessary, could you suggest a good ENT surgeon in Delhi? Also, will my voice recover fully after the surgery? I've attached a picture of my vocal cord nodules for reference.

Vocal cord nodules can often be managed without surgery through voice therapy and behavioral changes. If voice therapy isn't successful, surgery might be necessary, but most people with nodules can achieve good results with non-surgical methods. Many factors can influence recovery, including the severity of the nodules, individual healing rates, and adherence to post-operative care

View allI'm a bit worried because while I was eating, I accidentally scratched my throat. Now I'm coughing a lot, and my throat feels really itchy. It also hurts whenever I swallow. Do you think this is something serious, or will it just go away on its own? Should I be doing anything specific to help it heal or make the pain go away?
It sounds like you may have developed some irritation in your throat from scratching it while swallowing. To help with the pain and itchiness, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic which contains benzocaine. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the discomfort. Additionally, sucking on throat lozenges containing menthol or eucalyptus can also provide relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoking or excessive talking. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife? Would love some advice on what to try or any tips on managing this.
Turbinate Hypertroneeds surgical excision only when it is causing severe symptoms or aggrevating Sinusitis, otherwise you can neglect it.

My 2-year-old son was born with an ear pit in his left ear, and it's gotten infected. We've already gone through a 2-week course of antibiotics and used topical ointments, but there's been no change. What should be our next step?
Consult an ENT specialist or a pediatric surgeon for further evaluation and guidance, as recurrent infections in preauricular pits often require surgical excision to prevent future complications; they may recommend imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to assess the extent of the pit and surrounding tissue, and discuss surgical options to remove the pit and affected tissue.
