What should I do if I catch a cold and have a hoarse voice?

Question 1: I have a hoarse voice, which is caused by a cold. How can I get better quickly? Hoarse, commonly known as hoarseness. It's just that my voice has become hoarse and I can't even speak. Many people have had this experience. There are many reasons for hoarseness, from a slight cold to laryngeal cancer. Once there is hoarseness, it cannot be ignored.

1) The main reason of "hoarseness" is:

……

3. Chronic laryngitis

More common in long-term excessive smoking and drinking, dust, smoke and volatile gases in the living or production environment make the larynx chronically inflamed, and the voice is rough and low, which is intermittent in the early stage and gradually develops into persistence. It is heavier after getting up in the morning and lighter during the day, but few people completely lose their voices. To cure chronic laryngitis, we should first give up smoking and alcohol, pay attention to the protective measures of producing dust and smoke, and make tea with boat-fruited Sterculia, honeysuckle and Ophiopogon japonicus, which can get good results.

4. Vocal nodules and vocal polyps

Patients with vocal nodules and polyps are mostly teachers, singers or bus conductors. They talk a lot. This disease, also known as Singer's nodule, can also cause hoarseness, but the disease progresses relatively slowly. People with vocal nodules should pay attention to correct pronunciation methods, ensure that the voice has sufficient rest time, drink plenty of water, and maintain a certain humidity in the living environment.

5. Benign tumor of larynx

Long-term infection of larynx can cause laryngeal tumor and laryngeal amyloidosis. The hoarseness of benign tumor of larynx is getting worse, and severe cases may cause cough and dyspnea. However, the disease can be completely cured after surgical treatment.

7. Laryngeal paralysis

Virus infection, brain tumor, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer and other diseases are all caused by the oppression of laryngeal nerve. Characterized by monotonous voice, deep and rough, unable to produce high notes. After a period of adaptation, it may get better, and the worst thing is whispering. It is necessary to find the cause as soon as possible and treat the symptoms.

8. Hysterical aphonia

Hysterical aphonia, also known as neurosis, is mostly middle-aged women or introverts. After being subjected to strong mental action, it causes sudden aphonia, but the voice is normal and loud when laughing or coughing. The disease comes quickly, recovers quickly, and suffers from * * *, and can recur. For this kind of patients, we should avoid mental disorder and remain optimistic, so that aphonia can be completely avoided.

Question 2: I lost my voice when I caught a cold. What is the reason? Explanation: My voice is hoarse because bacteria and viruses invade the throat cavity after a cold, causing inflammation of the vocal cords and other tissues inside. Thereby causing the vocal cords to be red and swollen and affecting the normal vibration of the vocal cords. When the inflammation is light, the voice becomes hoarse and ugly, and when the inflammation is heavy, even words can't be said. In this case, you have to see a doctor for an injection and medicine in a few days.

Question 3: I have a bad cold and my voice is hoarse. What should I do? Develop the habit of throat hygiene. Rinse your mouth with clear water before and after meals, drink more tea at ordinary times and keep your throat clean. Smoking and drinking should be moderate, otherwise the throat will be strong and chronic inflammation will occur.

If the throat is uncomfortable, itchy, dry or burning, hot fumigation can be used. The way is to breathe into a hot cup or teapot with your mouth, which will soon make the discomfort disappear. You can also pour about 30 ml of compound benzoin tincture into a vat filled with about 500 ml of boiling water and breathe in the hot air. You can use chrysanthemum, honeysuckle or boat-fruited Sterculia as tea.

4. How to protect your voice

Hoarse is a common problem for people who need to talk for a long time or use their voice incorrectly. If the hoarseness persists for more than two weeks, it is best to find an otolaryngologist for examination and treatment. Generally speaking, silence is the best treatment for hoarseness. As for the long cocoon of vocal cords, there is no need for surgery. You can do speech therapy first. When the nodule is too large or the speech therapy is ineffective, laryngeal endoscopic microsurgery must be performed. Here are some tips to protect your voice in your daily life: 1) Limit your speaking time outside of work and reduce unnecessary long chats or phone calls. 2) Use appropriate volume, and make good use of the microphone to cope with insufficient volume. 3) Speak slowly, pause and inhale frequently between speeches, and don't lengthen a word. 4) The tone of speech should not be too low or too high, and the stress of each sentence should not be prefixed. 5) Whispering is an incorrect way of speaking. 6) When talking for a long time, drink plenty of warm water to keep your throat moist. 7) Try to speak easily with your abdomen (that is, Dantian), and don't talk with your chest or tense your neck muscles. 8) Don't smoke or drink, and don't eat spicy and fried foods, such as strong tea, coffee, peppers, chocolate and cold drinks. 9) Avoid forcibly clearing throat and coughing. Get enough sleep and don't eat too much before going to bed. Exercise properly and keep a happy and relaxed mood at all times. 12) When you have a cold, talk as little as possible. At this time, you should drink more warm water and maintain your vocal cords. 13) throat lozenge, Siraitia grosvenorii, loquat cream or Peng Hai.

5. So how to protect your voice? The experts made the following suggestions:

1. Drink plenty of water and avoid drinking alcohol and coffee. Keeping the water balance in the body can fully moisturize the vocal cords.

2, don't smoke, even passive smoking should be avoided, because smoking will significantly increase the risk of laryngeal cancer.

Don't use your voice too much. Don't scream, don't talk loudly in noisy places. If you feel dry or hoarse, stop talking. Keep your voice normal, neither too high nor too low, and whispering is not good for protecting your voice.

4. Don't clear your throat too much. Because when you do this, the air will vibrate the vocal cords violently, thus damaging the vocal cords. If you feel a sore throat, take a sip of water or swallow it. But if you have to clear your throat all the time, go and see a doctor. It may be reflux disease, allergies and other diseases.

When your voice is hoarse because of a cold or infection, try not to talk.
