Causes of Loss of Voice and Flu


You may have a sore throatbefore you begin to have voice problems. And you may continue to have some throat discomfort as the quality of your voice declines. Flu can also cause fluid (mucus) to dry, which should be in charge lubricate the vocal cords. “Maybe it is the same lubricant WD-40 on the vocal cords,” said Richard Staney, MD, director of Baylor University’s Van Lawrence Voice Institute and doctors in the Houston Grand Opera.
Resting your voice and drinking plenty of fluids can help ease a lost voice
“One very common thing is to hear patients come in when they’ve had a runny nose and all of a sudden, their voice is gone,” said Dr. Ramon Franco, medical director of the Voice and Speech Lab at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. It is possible for your voice to give out entirely after abusing it? rooting too loudly at a football game, for example. You can also lose your voice for a time after a prolonged episode of laryngitis (inflammation of the vocal cords). Straining to talk through laryngitis can actually tire the muscles you use for speech to the point where they just quit working for awhile.
When you fall sick, the body does not produce enough fluid so that the vocal cords will rub against each other. You may first notice voice-related symptoms when you wake up in the morning. It may take more effort for you to speak, and your voice may not sound normal. You also may cough or feel an urge to clear your throat, especially if your condition is caused by a virus or other infection.
You can restore your voice in different ways below:
  • Increase the intake of fluids to help the flow of mucus. Ensure you drink pleanty of water, keep your throat lubricated (cough sweets..etc). Avoid caffeine, which actually can make your body dehydrated.
  • Avoid antihistamines and analgesics drugs (such as ibuprofen and aspirin).
  • Avoid cleaning the throat as often as possible, because it can irritate the larynx (larings) and swelling of the vocal cords.
  • less talk.
  • If you have the flu.. it’s best to stay in bed. The flu is quite serious, although a lot of people don’t realise it. Unless you’ve got a bad cold
  • Boost your immune system anyway, as both of these conditions are viral. Take some Vitamin C tablets – Ecinachea take one every day for a month then one month on.
Voice loss and hoarseness are common problems and can cause missed days at work and a decrease the quality of your life
Once again Lots and lots of water.. seriously, it sounds weird, but it’s true. The good news is that if you think you’ve lost your voice, chances are you haven’t really lost it. What’s more likely is that you have some degree of hoarseness, and there’s plenty of help for that.
If loss voice problems persist longer than two weeks after getting ill or you lose your voice after an accident or injury to your head or neck and if you suddenly lose your voice for no apparent reason, see a doctor immediately. But there are some home remedies rumored to help regain a lost voice before that happens like Cold & Flu Essentials or Throat Ease Gold. Some methods may help, some won’t harm you and some should definitely be avoided. ?
