You’re welcome; I hope your appointment goes well! I think of speech therapy as PT, but for talking, thinking, and swallowing. So hopefully you’ll be able to get clarity about what’s going on from your doctors and maybe if you need it a speech therapist could help with treatment 🤞.

I realized there’s a lot of confusion over what they do, and it’s sometimes not thought of as often. Good luck!

Thanks for replying. Just got back from the ENT. The PA went over everything...scope down nose, removed ear wax, examined throat, etc. Wants me on daily Flonase for at least two weeks. Also looking for me to take meds for acid reflux. Her thinking is that I may have a slight bit of reflux that is causing irritation. So, it seems to be a coin toss, like most of my mediacal issues.
