Question

I've had a retention cyst on my true vocal cord that keeps coming back even after two MLS micro laryngeal surgeries one in Hyderabad in 2006 and another at Kims Trivendrum. The cyst isn't malignant but keeps filling up with a grapefruit-like mass, making it hard to speak properly. What could be the root cause, and is there a permanent solution to stop it from recurring?

Only treatment of vocal cords cyst is surgery. Cause of recurrence can be found in biopsy report of the cyst which could be incomplete removal of cyst wall or other underlying disease.

Question

I've been having this strange issue where every time I sneeze, there's this really bad smell in my nose. I tried washing my nose thoroughly, and it seems to help with the smell. So I'm guessing it might have something to do with mucus. It's only started happening recently, maybe around 2 or 3 times, but the smell is definitely unpleasant. Should I be worried about this for my health, or is it just a weird, harmless phase?

Question

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?
