throat

Avatar n tn I have had plates installed and removed and it could be part of the problem. Mine has a lot of scar tissue from the surgeries, it is actually constricting my throat and have problems swallowing. I have had it stertched out before but this last time it did not help. The doctors say it can take a year for my voice to come back. I'm not holding my breath on that, because of all the surgeries to my throat. If you come up with any answers let me know.

Avatar n tn Is it possible for a hiatial hernia to cause problems with my throat and voice. My symptoms are loss of voice when I talk for a little while---I can no longer sing---I can't get any range at all----my voice has grown so low that when I answer the phone people think its my husband answering. If you have any ideas I'd certainly appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Avatar f tn Hi, transient loss of voice and hoarse voice are the typical symptoms of laryngitis. It is inflammation of the larynx (voice box). It is mainly caused by virus and treatment depends on type of virus affected. Even serological tests will help to identify the responsible pathogens. It can be treated with appropriate anti viral.
Avatar m tn I had a sore throat for 2 weeks,now my voice is very weak, only whisper,and some flem at back of throat at times.If i talk normal cracky and difficult for 2 weeks now.Sometimes i feel inhaler is causing my voice problems or both? i seem to have had this voice problem,but much less for years but not this bad,especially when i could feel sinus dripping down back of throat.
Avatar f tn It can cause fungal infections, hoarseness, and temporary loss of voice. You may need to have a throat culture done to make sure you do not have a fungal infection. I am not saying that this is the only possible reason you have problems losing your voice, but I would put it at or close to the top of the list. Hope this helps!
Avatar m tn I am 71 years old and when I exert myself doing any physical exercise, especially yard work, I lose my voice, and recently have started getting a very sore throat. Does anyone experience the same symptoms and can anyone help me to deal with this or apart from no yard work, help me with these syptoms.
Avatar m tn It all started with a really sore throat which made it hard to swallow, then the fever, loss of appetite and mild coughing appeared. After 1 week, I lost my voice for 3 days, then it somewhat came back but I've gotten a really bad headache which I need medications so I can comprehend with the headache. The fever is still here and my throat has gone really sore again and my coughing is really bad, sometimes I cough up orange/dark yellow phlegm and it gives a really bad taste.
Avatar f tn i have had a hoarse voice for over a month now, no cough, or sore throat. It seems to get worse in the evening.

Avatar n tn t think you need to be searching for other explanations for why your voice sounds bad and your throat is sore. You just told me what caused it. Most of the time the cords are able to heal themselves with time, but you could have a cyst there, a nodule, a broken blood vessel. All of these things are benign, but can be diagnosed and usually respond well to voice therapy.
Avatar f tn Wow, I really think It's indigestion. Because I belch all the time and big belching. I used to eat before bed but I don't anymore. Thing is, today I got the results from my head X-rays and i have Chronic sinus so I think it's a combination of both these things. Thank you so much for your response.
1386217 tn?1279711235 My doctors could not be certain which illness is caused this for me, but I can tell you of certainty, yes ms (and neeurologic illness) can cause voice symptoms. selma and sarah have good advice, to see your sepcialists to see if they can see where it comes from so you may be treated for the best help. My voice and speech are greatly effected, i rarelly answer my phone unless I hear how is calling and know them I will pick up.
Avatar n tn I had acid prob about 3month before and was taking aomeprazole 20mg, and had gone for endoscopy, but acid reflex stopped by itself and sore throat and pain it still there. I can advice us as I did, Dont take pasta as its made of tomato sauce, generates too much acid, I reduced rice food, no any soft drink or fruit juices, stopped eating chocolates and stayed away from garlic.I take cold milk soon after dinner or lunch, cold milk help to stop generating or diminish excessive acid.
293157 tn?1285873439 Lately I notice my voice will get raspy, Horst, like I have a sore throat, but I don't have a sore throat or a cold. It will last a few hours then it's gone. Next day it's back? Any ideas on this.....
Avatar f tn It is unfortunately a little harder to sleep and more concerning is I seen to have developed a mild sore throat and am constantly clearing my throat all day. I hate to have to stop something that is allowing my brain to function better but this is really annoying. It’s been a few weeks and I’m not 100% sure it’s the meds though an internet search does list it as a side effect. So I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well and how you dealt with it?
Avatar n tn Acute pharyngitis and laryngitis is the commonest cause of loss of voice due to infection and inflammation of the voice box and throat. This active infection, coughing, and clearing throat can often result in break in small blood vessels. Usually these heal with treatment of laryngitis which involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic drugs along with maybe decongestants, warm saline gargles and throat elixirs.
Avatar f tn I have a horrible cold (stuffy nose, loss of voice, sore throat, and cough) last night i got 2 hours of sleep and im 38 Weeks.
Avatar f tn T GO AWAY, I TRED COUGH SYRUPS, GARGLED WITH WARM SALT WATER, SUCKED ON HALLS AND HARD CANDY, STILL NO HELP, ALWAYS HAD TO CLEAR MY THROAT, I MEAN LIKE EVERY 3 MINUTES, LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT, I DID THIS TO THE POINT MY THROAT FELT RAW AND SORE, MY VOICE WAS ALMOST GONE AND I KNOW I WAS DAMAGING MY VOCAL CORDS CLEARING MY THROAT SO MUCH, BUT COULDN'T STOP!!! DR.
Avatar n tn Some days a small amt chest pain with sore throat but very slight and usually goes away by afternoon. Have to clear throat often though may not allow voice to come back, occasional itchy throat and dry coughs.
Avatar m tn s never really been an issue. Recently I develoloped serious problems with my voice and throat and I went to a specialist where I had a gastroscopy done as he felt it that my reflux could possibly be causing the problem. I was put on Protium 40 initially but my GP put me on Protium 20 after about three months(mistake on her part possibly) which has controlled it but I still get reflux from time to time. I have been on protium for 6 months approx but my vocal issues still exist.
