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 allWhat's the success rate for surgery on an elongated styloid process compared to non-surgical treatments? I've been dealing with pain and wondering if surgery is worth it or if other options might work better
Even though some literature suggests that Eagle Syndrome can be successfully treated by non-surgical treatment, studies show that the cure rate of conservative Eagle Syndrome treatment is only 64.3%, compared to styloidectomy which has a cure rate of 91.8%.

I've been dealing with pain when I turn my neck and this weird feeling like something's stuck in my throat. An X-ray showed an elongated styloid process on my right side. I've seen multiple ENT and ortho doctors, tried antibiotics, pain meds, anti-inflammatory gargles, and tablets but nothing's helped. What's the best way to treat this - surgery, physical therapy, or something else?
It's likely you're experiencing Eagle syndrome, a condition caused by an elongated styloid process, which can cause pain in the throat, neck, and face, along with a feeling of something being stuck in the throat. The best treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether conservative measures have been tried

I've been dealing with a dry throat for the past three days. A few days ago, I had this sensation like something was caught in my throat, which eventually went away on its own, but now my throat just feels really dry. I get a mild cough, and there are times when I feel like I might have a fever, but then it disappears just as quickly. I've noticed some occasional chest pain, and sometimes my stomach acts up with gurgling twice a day. The only thing I've been taking is Calpol. It's particularly uncomfortable at night because the dryness makes it hard to sleep. Though there's no pain while swallowing or in the throat, it's beginning to bother me. Can you suggest any medicines or something I can do to help with this?
take tablet tusq for 5days
