I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?

I've been feeling this bruising pain under my chin for a couple of days and now there's a lump there that's hard and doesn't move. It feels like it's attached to my chin bone and is around 15 cm long. I'm also experiencing some pain under my left ear, but I haven't noticed any lump there. Should I be concerned about this? What could it possibly be?

My voice sounds very low and feminine even though I'm a guy is there any way to make it deeper and bolder without surgery like thyroplasty

Yes, there are techniques to deepen your voice. You can train your vocal cords and breathing to achieve a lower, more resonant sound. Focusing on breath control, posture, and vocal exercises can help you develop a deeper, more masculine voice.
