Hello doctor, For the past week I have been experiencing a “scratchy” feeling on just the left side of my throat right below my Adam’s Apple region. Now, it feels as though whatever it is has transformed into a feeling of paralysis from my voice box up to behind my left nasal passage. I am also experiencing shortness of breath.
Hello. Can you send me a picture of your throat (clear one). I want to see if your posterior pharyngeal wall or tonsils are infected. Are you a diabetic? What problem do you have in your nose? Is it like a nose block? Shortness of breath can be due to nose block as well. Do you have any posterior nasal drip? Any hoarseness of voice or cough while eating or drinking? These symptoms are suggestive of vocal cord paralysis. Do you consume alcohol or do you smoke? Any problem of acid reflux?
