Vocal Cord Dysfunction
If you are having ongoing trouble breathing, you may want to consider seeing a throat specialist to diagnose the issue. If may be that you are suffering from what's called vocal cord dysfunction (or VCD). This is when the vocal cords don't open all the way when you are inhaling and your airways become blocked, which then leads to breathing problems. This condition is often misdiagnosed as asthma. Peninsula Ear Nose & Throat Clinic Inc will give you a thorough throat examination to determine if the issue is with your vocal cords. We'll then let you know how we recommend to proceed, whether that be anywhere from resting your vocal cords to maxillofacial plastic surgery.
Tonsil Stones
Tonsil stones are small clusters of calcifications that form in the craters of tonsils. If you have them you may notice any number of symptoms, including: ongoing sore throat, cough, swollen tonsils, bad breath (due to bacteria), trouble swallowing, ear pain, and/or white debris. If you're experiencing one or more of these symptoms, make an appointment with a throat specialist at Peninsula Ear Nose & Throat Clinic Inc in Kenai, AK to get it checked out.
Reconstructive Surgery
The best solution to breathing issues is sometimes laryngotracheal reconstruction surgery. It's used to create a wider, permanent, more stable airway to breath through. As a specialist in maxillofacial plastic surgery, Peninsula Ear Nose & Throat Clinic Inc in Kenai, AK has the expertise and state-of-the-art medical equipment to produce effective results.
