I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

View allI'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.

I'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm still having issues with itching and noises in my ear. Should I be concerned that it's not healing properly, or is this normal and just taking time to get better?
It's normal for some residual symptoms like itching and sounds to persist for a few weeks after tympanoplasty, as the ear canal and eardrum take time to heal; however, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your ENT surgeon to rule out any complications, such as graft failure, infection, or middle ear fluid, and to determine the best course of action.

Hey, I've been dealing with chronic nasal polyps for a while now, and I'm starting to get a bit concerned. Is it possible that these polyps could cause an increase in the pressure in my pulmonary artery? I'm curious because I heard that could be a complication, but I'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts on this?
Chronic nasal polyps can sometimes be associated with a condition called Samter's triad, which includes nasal polyps, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity. In severe cases, this condition can lead to a rare but serious complication known as pulmonary hypertension. Treatment may involve medications such as montelukast (Singulair) to help manage asthma symptoms and potentially prevent complications like pulmonary hypertension. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
