Doctors’ responses

Hi Kannu Devi, for your vocal cord paralysis, you may benefit from ENT treatment such as voice therapy or surgery (e.g., thyroplasty). For the other symptoms like cough, sneezing, headache, and stomach pain, consult a chest specialist to rule out respiratory issues and a gastroenterologist for potential GERD. Coordination between your ENT, chest, and gastro doctors will help in managing your symptoms effectively.

Clinical Impression: Unilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis – likely neurogenic or secondary to compression (e.g., recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement) Possible underlying causes: Thyroid pathology (e.g., goiter, nodule) Post-viral neuropathy Mass lesion in the neck/chest (e.g., mediastinal lymphadenopathy, tumor) GERD-related laryngitis Upper respiratory symptoms: Likely allergic or infective etiology Gastrointestinal symptoms may be linked to reflux Thank you Dr Shayeque Reza

Hello Kannu Devi, The main complaint you are having is related to vocal cords. So, ENT surgeon is your doctor to visit for appropriate treatment. For other complaints, once the main issue is treated, other symptoms will reduce and if not cured completely, you may visit chest physician and gastroenterologist

Persistent vocal cord paralysis, coughing, and associated symptoms like sneezing, headache, and stomach pain may indicate a complex condition requiring coordinated care. It is best to consult a multispecialty hospital or a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and proper referral to the right specialist.
