My mom had surgery for follicular neoplasm thyroiditis and now her voice isn't clear or loud enough. Should she get her throat checked or just keep trying to speak more to improve it?

She should see an ENT for vocal cord evaluation—therapy helps only if cords are intact.

View allI'm having this issue with one side of my nose being blocked all the time, and it switches sides during the day. At night it gets hard to breathe, even through the side that's open. My ears feel blocked too, and my head is constantly heavy, but I'm not dealing with a cold. This has been going on for about four months, and I've already seen my family doctor and tried cetrizine and paracetamol, but nothing's helping. Who should I see about this? Also, is it okay if I use Otrivin daily for my nose problem?
Your persistent, alternating nasal congestion, ear blockage, and head heaviness, without cold symptoms, may indicate a possible underlying condition, such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or allergies; consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)

I've noticed this white spot on the back of my throat for a few days now, just the one, it hasn't spread or anything. Along with it, I've been dealing with a cold cough, runny nose, sore muscles but it's nothing too serious. Should I be worried about this spot? Is it related to my cold symptoms, or could it be something else? What should I do next?
