THROAT & VOICE
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
- Overview: Loud snoring often indicates Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep. This leads to fatigue and heart risks.
- Symptoms:
- Loud snoring with gasping sounds.
- Morning headache and dry mouth.
- Excessive daytime sleepiness.
- Dr. Roy’s Solution: Diagnosis is done via Sleep Study (Polysomnography). Treatment options include CPAP therapy or surgical correction of the palate and airway (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty).
Difficulty Swallowing (Dysphagia)
- Overview: Difficulty moving food from the mouth to the stomach can be caused by acid reflux, throat narrowing, or neurological issues. It requires precise evaluation.
- Symptoms:
- Pain while swallowing (Odynophagia).
- Sensation of food getting stuck in the chest.
- Frequent coughing or choking while eating.
- Dr. Roy’s Solution: We use flexible endoscopy to inspect the throat. Treatments may include medication for reflux, dilation procedures, or managing underlying throat conditions.
Recurrent Tonsillitis
- Overview: Recurrent throat infections can severely impact daily life and cause long-term health issues. When medication fails, surgical intervention may be necessary.
- Symptoms:
- Severe sore throat & difficulty swallowing.
- Fever and swollen neck glands.
- Bad breath (Halitosis) from tonsil stones.
- Dr. Roy’s Solution: While acute cases are managed with medication, Dr. Roy performs modern Coblation or Laser Tonsillectomy for chronic cases, ensuring minimal pain and faster recovery.
Hoarseness of Voice
- Overview: A change in voice that lasts longer than 2 weeks could indicate vocal cord nodules, polyps, or other issues. Professional evaluation is essential.
- Symptoms:
- Raspy, strained, or breathy voice.
- Pain or effort while speaking.
- Loss of vocal range (especially singers).
- Dr. Roy’s Solution: We use Video Laryngoscopy to visualize the vocal cords. Treatments range from Voice Therapy to advanced Micro-Laryngeal Surgery (Phonosurgery) to remove cysts/polyps.
Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
- Overview: Chronic dry mouth is not just uncomfortable; it increases the risk of tooth decay and infections. It can be caused by medication, dehydration, or gland issues.
- Symptoms:
- Sticky, dry feeling in the mouth.
- Trouble chewing, swallowing, or tasting.
- Cracked lips and bad breath.
- Dr. Roy’s Solution: We diagnose the cause (e.g., Sjogren's syndrome, stones). Treatment focuses on hydration, salivary stimulants, and managing any gland blockages.
