Common Questions and Answers about Throat and voice box
throat
This is interesting as i went to ENT last year and he said i had over used my voice box and that i must shout a lot!! I do not!
He said no cure just get on with it!
So maybe its the acid causing my lump in my throat and pain in my neck-agony on a bad day, but surely he would have seen something on the big camera he stuck down my throat?!
I suspect that the source of your problem lies in your voice box. You may have laryngitis that is only being made worse by your occupation. Cancer would be very low on my list of concerns for you. I would be willing to bet that if you were able to rest your voice, this would get better. As far as what your doctor can do, I would start by simply looking at your voice box with either a flexible scope or a mirror.
This can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, mucus coating due to post nasal drip, irritation of the throat and voice box by irritants. Irritants can be anything from dust, smoke, etc.
Damage can also be caused if you suffer from acid reflux.
You may have damage to the vocal chords by over use, or by straining the vocal chords. If you do sing, then do make sure you do vocal warm ups.
The voice box needs to be looked after like any other part of your body.
I have been clearing my throat and getting a hoarse/raspy voice off and on for 8 mos. now. I went to my Dr. and he told me to take Claritin for allergies. That didn't seem to do anything so I went to an ENT who said my voice box was red from reflux and was prescribed Omeprazole 40 mg. I have been on it for 3 mos. and it hasn't done much. I was having some heartburn and seemed to help.
It could be due to varied causes like upper respiratory tract infection like laryngitis or pharyingitis, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, reflux laryngitis in people who have acidity and GERD, muscle abnormality, voice box abnormality, polyps, tumors or weakness of voice box etc.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
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.
Hi about 1 month and a half ago i performed oral sex on a stripper right of the bat my tongue kinda felt weird after i did it and about a week later i started getting a sore throat but i also started feeling like something was stuck in the back of my throat around the voice box area now the sore throat comes and goes but the feeling of something being stuck never went away so i have a hard time even trying to swallow my saliva but no problems with eating or drinking so am i just paranoid?

I started a cource of Paracetamol 500 mg and Levocitrizine dicholoride and the fever never reoccured post the first day. however it took 2-3 days for the heavyness of the chest to go and the throat (voice box) took 5-6 days. There was no pain in the throat though.
So what is my challenge?
My challenge is that i am feeling very tired+week. Work up a fever of 99 F every evening for 2-3 hours. I tried keeping hourly temperature and have found that at 50% of times it is 98.
i felt misserable for a good 4 days and now its day 5 on my antibiotics and my voice is gone!! all my other symptoms are gone except for my burning throat and now i cant talk. i read everywhere online that it is very rare for strep to cause you to lose your voice so could it be something else? helpppp its sooo painful!!
