Your voice and throat work quietly in the background until something goes wrong, and then even simple things like speaking for long or swallowing food become uncomfortable. Teachers, singers, call centre staff and anyone who uses their voice heavily are especially prone to throat and voice problems. We examine the throat and voice box closely using video laryngoscopy to understand exactly what is going on before suggesting treatment.
A rough, weak or breathy voice that lasts more than a couple of weeks.
Persistent throat pain or irritation, especially in people who talk for long hours.
Recurring infection and swelling of the tonsils, often with fever and pain while swallowing.
Discomfort or a feeling of something stuck while eating or drinking.
Small growths on the vocal cords, common in professional voice users, causing persistent hoarseness.
Throat irritation and clearing caused by acid coming up from the stomach.
That is exactly what a consultation is for. Come in, tell us what you are feeling, and let Dr Sreelakshmi K guide you towards the right next step.
