Hello again. I have an appt with my ENT Dec 22. Oh boy! I saw him 1 month ago and all seemed fine, 2 months prior to that there was a "puffy" area and I had to have a CAT scan or Pet or one of those and all seemed fine then. Now the hoarseness from the "cold" 3 weeks into it and dang I am scared. Has anyone had this happen and all was just fine. Just a compromised larynx acting up?? I am breathing, going to Yoga and Nia and all the stuff I do regularly to keep centered. I feel like I should put all negative thoughts aside as I am silly and superstitious at times. Reality bites sometimes too! Any input, puffy swollen or hoarse still. I did read somewhere on another site that someone had a similar puffy fluid area and hoarseness following that, but never got a reply from them on how it turned out or anything. I am sooo glad I found this site. Now I have someone to TALK to!!
