@pinkskyinthemorning I don't know if it's medicine related or not? I saw it in a post somewhere else, it could be medicine related, diltiazem and even eliquis blood thinner, that's why I came here asking questions to see if anybody knew

@pinkskyinthemorning the doctor said it was not cancer, to come back in one month, I get to thinking about it now and he said he'd never noticed any medication having no side effects before, and he said he had been doing this for 23 years, so now they're leaning toward a dental infection I've got, I'm currently on antibiotics

Hello @pinkskyinthemorning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You are asking a good question about this new issue and whether it may be related to medication. I went to Mayo Clinic's website. Here is a link with information about Diltiazem: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/diltiazem-oral-route/description/drg-20071775

If you scroll down the webpage, you will see a list of side effects, including sore throat, changes in voice, swallowing problems, and hoarseness. Partial paralysis of the vocal cord is not listed. Have you been referred to an otolaryngologist for the examination and treatment of your vocal cords?
