I have hoarseness, what should I do?
Hoarseness is basically change in voice where voice becomes either raspy or breathy or strained or there may be change in pitch or the volume. This can be due to many reasons like infection or inflammation of the vocal cords, misuse or over use of voice, chronic GERD, vocal cord polyp, nodule, cyst or hemorrhage or it may indicate cancer of larynx, there may be paralysis of vocal cord or it may be manifestation of some other neurological problem.
If the hoarseness is continuing for long even after treatment one should definitely visit ENT specialist. ENT specialist will analyze the medical history and do some clinical examination which will include flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy with stroboscopy. In some conditions imaging may be required. So it is very important not to neglect hoarseness for long and get it checked.

I was suffering from severe cough, cold and headache. I consulted with so many doctors, but did not get relief. My friend told me about Dr. Satinder and I consulted with him. He gave five days medicine for these symptoms. Surprisingly, I got relief in two days only. I am thankful for his great treatment that he had given to me. Thanks a lot.

I can't explain how much pain I was going through due to the mump at right side of my face. I got really scared as ear & throat both were paining. My boss suggested Dr. Satinder Singh, ENT specialist. Really Thanks to him for such a kind support and treatment. Within a day I was relived from the pain.
Few days back, got ulcers on the throat due to which unable to even inhale or eat or drink anything. Come to Dr. Satinder and really it was really a safest and quickest treatment i got and started normal diet within 3 days.
