Question 1

could an aortic aneurism cause a chronic cough?  (i read it can cause a legion on cranial nerve x causing problems in the larynx?)

Accepted Answer

Rare: A aneurysm can lead to cough, but that very, very rare.  Chronic cough causes can be tough to diagnose, but don't despair.  Keep working on it and you'll get to the bottom of it.

Question 2

good evening, i have cough specially after food i feel itching sensation in my larynx but the symptoms relived by antihistamines . what's the problem?

Accepted Answer

See docsee doctor: You may need to see allergist and ENT doctors to find out. I would see ENT first then if they felt allergist could help they would refer you.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Possible: this is certainly possible, it it is a big concern for you, I would see a ear nose and throat specialist

Question 4

with my finger ive been feeling far down my throat/ larynx & noticed hard lumpy areas down there that move & soft tissue that moves? is evaluation of the area/ camera only worth doing with symptoms ie. voice or swallowing problems i have no symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: What you are feeling are likely to normal structures, e.g. epiglottis. If you do not have symptoms, quit pushing your finger down your throat.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 5

i get excessive sticky white mucus build up in the larynx area, what condition(s) could this be ?

Accepted Answer

LPR: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) is a form of gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease) that causes collection of mucous in the back of the throat and frequent need to clear one's throat.  Seek an anti-reflux diet and try taking an acid-suppressive remedy.  If symptoms persist see your doc.  Good luck!

Question 6

are there any larynx exercises i can do?

Accepted Answer

Singing: The larynx is an organ, but it contains the vocal cords responsible for phonation. If you're good at it, try singing.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: larynx?

Accepted Answer

Voicebox: The larynx is the organ that houses the vocal cords.  This provides speech, and protects the airway from aspirating food.  There are other functions also, such as allowing increased pressure for weight lifting by partially closing the vocal cords, etc.

Question 8

why does my larynx feel like its kind of hanging like my double chin? when i go to touch my double chin my larynx feels more forward. should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

: It's difficult to imagine what you're describing about your larynx. Apparently you have no other symptoms such as pain,tenderness, cough,hoarseness  or wheeze. For peace of mind have an examination of your mouth,throat &amp; neck by your physician or an ENT specialist.

Question 9

where is the larynx located in neck?

Accepted Answer

Center, front: The larynx is the location of the voice and windpipe open and closure tissue.  In males it is a prominent bump on the from of the middle of the neck.  It is less prominent in females.  Put your thumb and forefinger in the middle of the neck in a grasping position and hum and you will feel the vibration from the larynx.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: larynx obstruction?

Accepted Answer

Larynx obstruction: Anything that blocks the lumen of the  airway at the larynx level, is called laryngeal obstruction, or vocal cords.  Mucous can be cleared with suction or spitting it out.  Swelling and edema can occur when people have infection of these structures or one has a breathing tube put in their airway for breathing.  Scarring can occur that can block the airway if one is not careful.  Good luck.
