Damion Smith is known for his deep, resonant voice. So when he lost is voice in June 2016, he decided to visit his doctor and he was diagnosed with laryngitis. But the medications didn’t work, and his voice was getting worse, so he went to an ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT). He found a growth on Damion’s left vocal cord and took a biopsy. The biopsy revealed cancer and Damion was referred to MD Anderson where he was diagnosed with throat cancer – specifically, primary squamous cell carcinoma of glottis.
After seven chemotherapy cycles and 35 days of radiation, Damion credits his doctors, nurses and staff for getting him through this tough journey, but also credits keeping a positive attitude.

Sore throat (pharyngitis) is super common. It is usually caused by an infection in the throat (Viral or Bacterial). Soreness in the throat may be the only symptom. In addition, you may also have:
⦿ Tiredness.
⦿ Swollen glands in your neck.
⦿ Pain when you swallow.
⦿ A hoarse voice.
⦿ A mild cough.
⦿ A high temperature (fever).
⦿ A headache.
⦿ A feeling of wanting to be sick (nausea).
We will then look at how to treat a sore throat yourself:
To help soothe a sore throat and shorten the severity of the symptoms, you can:
1) Gargle with warm, salty water (half a tea spoon of salt) (children should not try this) – one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to try this home treatment. Anybody can prepare this as we demonstrate in the video how to do it.
2) Drink plenty of water – when we have an infection our body will be fighting it and this can send the body in to overdrive. The key is to keep it hydrated and avoid dehydration as this can make us feel unwell.
3) Eat cool or soft foods – Helps create a soothing effect on the throat.
4) Warm drinks like tea and soup may also help (Avoid Hot Drinks) – Again as above, generally cooler foods are preferred but if you don’t like bananas or yogurts then a warm glass of tea or soup can do the trick.
5) Avoid smoking or smoky places – these can irritate the throat further and make your symptoms worse.
6) Suck ice cubes, ice lollies or hard sweets – but do not give young children anything small and hard to suck because of the risk of choking.
7) Rest – Helps the body fight the infection.
Consider seeing a GP/Family Doctor if:
⦿ The sore throat does not improve after a week
⦿ Often get sore throats
⦿ Worried about your sore throat – it is severe/ or you feel unwell
⦿ Have a sore throat and a very high temperature, or you feel hot and shivery
you have a weakened immune system – for example, because of diabetes or chemotherapy
A severe or long-lasting sore throat could be something like strep throat (a bacterial throat infection).

Pain in the throat is a very common symptom and sometimes it is associated with additional ear ache as well. Throat pain can be caused by a simple pharyngitis , that is infection of the throat caused by the tonsillitis which is very common in young children between age 2 and 5 and also because of small ulcers that form because of vitamin ands iron deficiency and also because of extreme stress. It can also be caused by lesions such as tumors. The most common is tonsillitis and pharyngitis and they can be associated with ear ache. The reason for ear ache is that the nerves that supply the throat also have supply to the era and there is a certain amount of impulses form the area of the throat and pain sensation to the ear due to pathology in the ear. The refereed pain that can be due to short circuits that can happen due to electric currents and devices that are going up. They are not the cause, there are ear aches and such earaches do not respond to the local treatment and we treat it from the cause upwards. So that is causing the earache has to be treated, after which the ear ache spontaneously comes down. So it is important to identify the causative factors and treat the same accordingly.

As we age, we develop wear and tear of all of our joints, including in our feet and toes. Also known as Hallux Rigidus, arthritis of the great toe joint can cause you pain. Over time the cartilage in your big toe joint can get worn down, which can cause narrowing of the joint and can also cause bone spurs to form.
Podiatrist (foot and ankle surgeon) Dr. Jennifer Boeri discusses how arthritis progresses, how it causes pain, how arthritis is diagnosed and what treatments are available at different stages.

Arthritis is the wear of the normal lining or cartilage of the joint and can occur in any or multiple joints around the foot and ankle.
In most people, there is no definitive cause and probably relates to the enormous stresses across the joint even when walking.
We’ve asked expert orthopaedic surgeon Mr Paul Hamilton to explain what arthritis of the foot feels like and how it can be treated.

An itchy throat may be a sign of an allergy. In this video, Patrick Brown, MD, from Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Hospital explains how environmental allergens may irritate your throat.
“GAS or streptococcus pyogenes is the most common bacterial cause of acute tonsillitis.
Here is a mouth with pharyngotonsilitis, inflammation of both the pharynx and tonsils. Here is a photo of bacterial tonsillitis. Pharyngotonsillitis caused by GAS is sometimes referred to as strep throat. The majority of episodes of pharyngitis are caused by viral infections which are usually treated conservatively. However, early recognition of s.pyogenes is important since failure to appropriately treat strep throat may lead to GAS complications. Unfortunately, distinguishing between viral and bacteria can be difficult.
The group a streptococcus are beta haemolytic cocci able to produce some exotoxins and also contain many surface antigens that play a vital role in its pathophysiology such as m proteins. Transmission of strep throat is through saliva and nasal secretion from an infected person.”
