Complete Throat Care
Are you having throat pain, difficulty swallowing, persistent cough, throat clearing, or hoarseness? Some of these symptoms may be due to allergies, chronic sinus disease, acid reflux, or persistent inflammation after a cold or flu. Vocal cord polyps and nodules are commonly found in people who use their voice more than usual, or who are exposed to environmental irritants – singers, teachers, and smokers for example. Occasionally difficulty swallowing or hoarse voice can be a sign of a vocal cord growth or lesion in the throat. Dr. Lessow can visualize the throat and vocal cords directly with a flexible or rigid scope. Treatments can include dietary changes, medications, voice therapy, voice training and laryngeal microsurgery. Dr. Lessow can help you with:
- Snoring & obstructive sleep apnea treatment
- Mouth & throat conditions, hoarseness, laryngitis, cough & acid reflux
- Acute and chronic tonsillitis
Specializing In Conservative Procedures
