Suggest Treatment For Hoarse Voice And Cold Along With Thick Phlegm
I ve lost my voice for about a week now with what I fought was a cold following an air flight. More like a chest cold with thick phlegm that doesn t want to loosen. I ve tried expectorants, cough pastilles, but nothing seems to break it. Suggestions please - I usually get some progress by now but this is really stubborn.
Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This could be due to laryngitis I recommend the following. 1) Along with expectorant cough syrup and decongestant you also need a course of antibiotics. 2) Steroid to improve vocal cord function. 3)Voice rest You will be fine. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help. Wish you a good health and speedy recovery. Regards, Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS Consultant ENT Surgeon
