Laryngitis since 1 month

Respected Doctor, I had cold and fever by 27 Feb and voice hoarseness from 1 march. I have taken self medication like Azithromycin (3 Days OD) and Cefuroxime Axetile (2 days BD) with anti allergic and Dolo 650 from 27 Feb to 06 March. After this I got relief only in fever and cold. The prescriptions for all the treatments I underwent during 6 to 22 march are attached. I have not taken any medication since march 22. Despite undergoing all these treatments, I have not experienced any satisfactory improvement. Laryngoscopy is also done by ENT. Still My voice is hoarse, though less so than before. After speaking for a short while, my voice begins to crack and fade. Immediately upon waking up in the morning, I cant produce any sound at all, as if mucus has accumulated in my throat. My voice clears up after inhaling steam or drinking warm water. I mostly have a dry cough, sometimes wet. At times, I experience a pulling sensation or itching in either my left or right ear. Please help 🙏

Health anxiety

Hello Doctor, I would like to consult you regarding a throat issue that has been troubling me. I have been a smoker for the past 6 years. In 2023, I noticed small lumps on my palatopharyngeal arch and consulted an ENT specialist. I was prescribed medications, including Sporlac powder, and was told it was due to irritation. After that, I had a habit of consuming alcohol daily and frequently eating spicy and oily foods, and I used to lie down immediately after meals. I have stopped alcohol since mid-2025, but I am still unable to quit smoking. Currently, I continue to notice the lumps along with throat irritation, which is causing me significant anxiety. I am worried whether this condition is serious or could develop into cancer, and it is affecting my concentration at work. I would like your guidance on whether this is due to chronic irritation or something serious, if there is any risk of cancer. Have u treated similar cases and I need elaborate answers only. Please help me 93xxxxxx09
