I went to a ENT doctor who looked at my vocal cord with a machine. He said yes this side has pustuials, only looked at one side. Then without any meds, he told me to come back in a year. Uvula was dropping to my tongue. Was having trouble swallowing. When I went back in a year, couldn t speak, now I have replied seems and he refused to take it! Still have this trouble swallowing.snd Boise gone to despite pitch. Was a singer. Now what?

Hello,

As per your complain you have the problem of swallowing difficulty that may be because of gastroesophageal reflux disease lead to ulcer in the esophagus.

Esophagitis or other lesion cause difficulty in swallowing. Laryngoscopy examination is helpful for diagnosis. Manometry to check the pressure in the esophagus during swallowing.

A barium swallow can be done if needed. Start a treatment according to the cause. Detail history and investigation give an exact idea about problems. Consult a physician for further diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
