After almost 4 years later I went to another ENT and discovered I have a white phelgm (leukopiaka) on my vocal box/cords. Which causes a sensation of mucus and discomfort. Unknown to me not sure how long I have had this because initially this was not diagnosed at my 1st visit 4 yrs ago!. After going to 2 gastrologists several tests, endoscopy, cat scan, Bravo test, xray of my throat (swallowing)looks like they were looking in the wrong area!!! I was given medicine for possible fungus on the vocal cords which was negative. Si now I am having a biopsy on the vocal cords which is very difficult since the area is so delicate. My doctor said it could be dysplasia (precancerous cells) or cancer (praying ). My feelings are so mixed so thankful for this 2nd visit to a new ENT yet angry for all the testing I have gone through looking for acid reflux. My symptoms from day 1 mucus stuck in my throat which I could not cough up and hoarseness which has gotten worse.... writing this for all who suffer from some disease that we need to diagnose ourselves when the medical field are blindsighted. I was told , I really dont know what it is, given several types of meds , and learn to live with it. Is this from covid, who knows says its from smoking (40 yrs ago). Alcohol (social drinker). I guess I shouldn't complain finally have a plan pray my voice isn't affected and not cancer. Good luck to all of you, I have shared many messages in regards to several mucus its just mine was caused from something else.
