A member asked:

Raspy voice dry throat had it 3week no lumps in neck no sore throat feels like its near larynxs what could it be very worried thanks geoff ps i.am 65?

See ENT doctor: If you are a smoker then see an ENT doctor ASAP. 3 weeks of laryngitis could still be consistent with a viral laryngitis. But for peace of mind and a specific diagnosis see an ENT doctor for a fiber optic laryngoscopy under local anesthesia in the office.

I have had lumps on the back wall of my throat for around 6 years, they aren't usually sore but sometimes hurt if I've been talking too much. They are the same colour as my throat. I'm not sure if I should see a doctor. Thank you?
