Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I would like to check for vocal cord inflammation /nodules.
Being a teacher necessitates talking loudly. This, over a period of time, causes vocal cord strain.
I believe that the
laryngitis episode cause inflammation of the vocal cord which has bit recovered yet due to lack of rest.
*what were your symptoms when you first got it?
*what are your symptoms now?
*what medications did you take?
*have you noticed any voice change before and after the laryngitis?
*do you use chalk or marker?
I recommend :
-an ear nose throat (ENT) consult.
-laryngoscopy
-voice rest for atleast 4 weeks or till healing is complete.
-avoid
cold fluids, chalk dust and talking loudly and continuously.
-Gargle with warm (as warm as you can tolerate) salt water.
-hold a wet handkerchief over your nose and mouth to prevent irritation by air pollution while traveling to and from work or while going out
-have a teaspoon of honey twice a day.
-avoid any food items that irritate your throat (citric fruits, spicy food)
-take a
vitamin C supplement (500 mg) with a full cup of water for 3 weeks.
-stay well hydrated and avoid extremes of temperature.
Voice rest would mean you avoid teaching. Ease consider my recommendations for a full recovery.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
