Marina:
I hope that the doctor that you speak of is an ENT vs. a GP or internist.
There are some ENT's that specialize in treating singers. There is
supposed to be a terrific one out at Loyola University Hospital just west
of Chicago. Perhaps someone can recommend one to you if you let us know
the area that you live in.
