It's understandable to be concerned about tongue-tie release surgery for your 6-month-old baby. While the procedure is generally safe, especially for infants, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks with your pediatrician or a specialist like an ENT or pediatric dentist. General anesthesia is also safe for infants, but it's a factor to consider in the overall decision

I'm having some issues with my voice, both when I talk and sing. It feels like there's a weakness in my voice box, even when I'm not speaking. There's also pain when I do talk or sing. My voice tires easily, and it's losing its depth and clarity it sounds faint and a bit muffled. Plus, hitting high notes takes a lot more effort than it used to. These issues used to happen rarely over the last year, but in the past three months, they've become more consistent. I've tried taking Oratil and Azee tablets, but they haven't helped. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my voice?
