Thyroplasty

Thyroplasty is of 4 types: type 1 thyroplasty, lateralization of cord, shortening or relaxation and elongation or tensioning.In 1805 Manuel Garcia, famous opera singer invented indirect laryngoscopy by using a dental mirror as a basic tool for visualising vocal folds by otolaryngologists.In medialisation laryngoplasty, a window is cut in the thyroid lamina in the neck on the paralysed side and the piece of thyroid cartilage is depressed inward towards the midline until the normal cord touches the paralysed cord, thus closing the glottic gap resulting in normal voice.

Running nose and sneezing

I am troubled by a runny nose and sneezing. I don’t have any other problem. This issue has been happening for the past one month. When I take medicine, it gets better, but then it comes back again. This keeps happening again and again. I have taken a lot of medicine already, including about 40 tablets of Bilastine, but it is not getting cured permanently. The problem mostly happens in the morning and evening. Please help me. I don’t have much money, so kindly recommend an affordable medicine or solution.

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
