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.

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning. Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition. Consider the following steps: - Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion. - Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders. - Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause. - Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists. Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.

I'm dealing with Meniere's disease and I've noticed that whenever I take Vertin, my dizziness, shakiness, and ear fullness get much better. But when I skip it, these symptoms really kick in. Is it okay if I take Vertin every day to manage this, or should I just deal with the dizziness? A 16mg dose per day seems to work well for me.

YES you can take vertin tablet for long periods also no problem.
