Why is my voice cracking and throat sore?

I’m a 22 female. One day, probably 3 days ago i started feeling my voice cracking. It felt funny, didn’t have any other symptoms, have happened to me before. In the evening i went to concert and tried that “wooh“ and couldn’t. Sounded awful. I didn’t thought anything serious, later after talking a while, it got better. Had some lozenges. Next morning i had almost no voice. Well, I thought whatever, and went to work (as a barista). Almost all of the time my colleague talked. But i had to a bit as well. As day went on it got worse n worse. Hard to swallow. Sore throat. Nothing else. Had Decatylen (pills and spray), herbal lozenges, GeloRevoice, teas, NAC, vitamin c with honey. One time it was acid, then antacid worked. But not this time. I don’t know what to do anymore

It sounds like you’re experiencing laryngitis, likely due to vocal strain or a mild infection. The symptoms you describe—voice changes, soreness, and difficulty swallowing—are common in these cases. To help, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest your voice as much as possible, and consider warm saltwater gargles for the throat. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment. Prioritizing your vocal health is important, and seeking guidance can provide you with the best path forward.

Why are my nostrils congested and breathing difficult suddenly?

If I look inside my nose in the mirror with flash on the pink fleshy part is really close together in each nostril. Does this mean enlarged turbinates? And does it go away on its own? I woke up with a blocked nose 2 days ago randomly and my nose has been feeling congested since. If I close my mouth I can’t breathe through my nose. If I blow air out of my nostrils I can only feel it coming out of one nostril and it alternates between each nostril. I was able to breathe normally with my mouth completely closed just 2 days ago. How can I fix this? There is some mucus but not a lot.

The pink fleshy parts you see are likely normal structures, but they may appear enlarged during congestion. This condition can improve over time. To alleviate symptoms, try using saline nasal sprays, staying hydrated, and inhaling steam. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is a good idea to rule out any underlying issues and receive appropriate treatment.

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can occur due to factors like allergies, a respiratory infection, or environmental irritants. Swelling in the nasal passages can temporarily hinder airflow, making breathing through your nose difficult. In many cases, this condition improves on its own within a few days as inflammation subsides. To alleviate symptoms, consider using saline nasal sprays or a humidifier. Drinking plenty of fluids can also help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

Pain and swelling in your ear can result from infections, especially following flu symptoms. Since you have a history of eardrum issues, it's crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. Utilizing warm compresses may provide temporary relief, and over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort. However, I strongly advise consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough examination. They can determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or further care.

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can result from various factors such as allergies or a mild viral infection. The blockage while lying down could be due to gravity affecting nasal drainage. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier may help ease your symptoms. Over-the-counter saline sprays are also beneficial for relieving congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a general physician to rule out any underlying issues.

Ear balance issues accompanied by the sensation of hearing your heartbeat may be related to various factors, such as inner ear inflammation, earwax buildup, or changes in blood flow. These symptoms can affect your comfort but are often manageable. To alleviate discomfort, consider staying hydrated and avoiding loud environments. Gentle neck stretches may also help. However, it's crucial to seek a professional evaluation if symptoms persist or worsen, as a healthcare provider can offer personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your needs.

Mucus buildup can cause a sensation of fullness in the ear, leading to muffled hearing, as the Eustachian tubes may become blocked. Staying well-hydrated, using steam inhalation, or saline nasal sprays may help alleviate the congestion. If symptoms persist, or if you experience pain or fever, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can check for any underlying issues and provide appropriate treatment.

It sounds like you're experiencing typical symptoms of a common cold, which can affect sinuses and lead to feelings of pressure or fluid in the ears. This sensation, along with diminished hearing, may result from fluid buildup. For relief, consider using a warm compress on your ear, staying hydrated, and trying steam inhalation to help clear sinus passages. Over-the-counter decongestants may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

It appears that you have a prolonged sore throat which may be due to hidden factors such as allergies, post-nasal drip, or even acid reflux. Therefore, it is possible to feel discomfort if speaking for a long time. You can reduce the symptoms by keeping your fluid intake high and by using a humidifier in the case of dry environments. Patients should also use Throat lozenges. On the other hand, since this is a recurring issue over many years, I very strongly suggest speaking with a healthcare professional.

Can elongated uvula cause swallowing discomfort and worsen?

My uvula has elongated into my throat after I woke up from sleep this morning about 2hrs ago. It's making swallowing a bit unconfortable. My breathing is fine for now and it's not painful for now. I've gargled with salty warm water.

Concerns about an elongated uvula are understandable and can be caused by factors such as dehydration, allergies, or inflammation. Considering you are merely feeling a little weirdness while swallowing but breathing is okay, it may not be a life-threatening event. Saltwater gargling is the first step to getting relief. Alongside that, drinking water is just as important. When things get worse, or you face such a problem as shortness of breath, and increased pain, please consult an ENT specialist.

Your symptoms indicate that there may be some granules or mass in your nose, which may be caused by various causes such as allergy or sinusitis. They can cause you to have pain, a blocked nose or difficulty in breathing. To get a solution, you can use a spray that will open the nostrils or a saline rinse. However, it is best to see a doctor first so that he/she can diagnose your situation correctly and give the best treatment. Your health is important and taking professional help is always a good idea.

You seem to have a few very worrying symptoms, which are earache and swelling, that are a hint at an ear infection and, in some cases, mastoiditis. Your facial, neck, and throat discomfort may be connected as well. The matter of getting you checked out is to have all aspects of your position estimated. Your history of TMJ and headaches could be the other causes of the discomfort. There are treatments that could work, such as those that lessen the swelling and the pain, and they may produce the result you want. Finally, the accurate examination must be conducted by a physician.

Based on your description, it appears that you are experiencing a lot of pain, making it hard to swallow liquids and solid foods. The possible causes could be an infection, inflammation, or allergies. Keeping water intake might be difficult, so have warm broths or herbal teas instead of water. Pain relievers bought over the counter can alleviate the pain to some extent. Still, these are just temporary remedies. It is my firm belief that you should obtain accurate and professional help from healthcare practitioners to diagnose the source and give you the preferred therapeutic regimen. The most important thing for you is to be healthy, and therefore, a clinician, knowing your specific case, is in a position to offer the most suitable professional support and attention.

Issues related to the ear can be reflected in pain, uneasiness, or difficulty with the ear. Typical triggers consist in infections, allergies, or wax buildup. To ameliorate the condition, the first way to go is to take over-the-counter painkillers and apply hot compresses. Nevertheless, it's very important to go to get a specialist's view particularly if the symptoms don't improve, deteriorate, or in case there occurs fever or liquid drainage. An ears, nose, and throat specialist with a great deal of experience can properly diagnose you and recommend suitable treatments tailored to you. Keeping a healthy body should come first.
