I've come in late. and missed the original posting. I wince when I read that the throats of some musicians swell out when blowing. What long term damage is being caused?
But if someone has a throat problem of an unusual kind, my own first line of treatment would be to attend an osteopath or a chiropractor. Within seconds we would know if the problem was one for us or one for the medical doctor or rarely even a surgeon. If for one of the manipulative professions, treatment is usually easy, quick and effective. Very few, indeed if any, doctors are fully aware of what these very similar therapies can do. Whichever way, have it checked out by one of these two professional systems.. And NEVER forget, we hornists while well meaning are not trained medical experts. Regard all medical advice in this List with such cautions in mind. Although I myself have been in full time hospital and private practice since 1968, effectively treating many throat problems. But sadly rarely improving many top c''s. Least of all my own! My throat doesn't swell when I attempt top d''s but my EYES do! Actually they turn inwards. Ouch! English humour. And spelling.
