Are Flovent And Tessalon 200 Mg Advisable For Laryngeal Spasm?

I have been diagnosed with laryngeal spasm (vocal cord dysfunction) secondary to pain, tightening near collarbones and throat, especially with exertion. This diagnosis was made by my allergist. He ruled out asthma with a breathing machine (measured inhale/exhale rate) and graph and gave me this diagnosis. He told me that I had gotten this secondary to a bad cough I had several moths ago (this cough was because of post nasal drip). He prescribed Flovent 44mcg, 2 puffs 2x/day, Nasonex for any post nasal drip I might still have and Tessalon 200mg, 3x/day. He said the use these meds for 3 weeks. Well it has been one week and I am just slightly better and I m wondering if I should have my vocal cords scoped or at the very least see an ENT. Should I be concerned that my diagnosis was made too quickly?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I advise you to complete your course of medication fully for 3 weeks as your physician prescription because:
1. It will reduce your asthmatic condition
2. Prevents the recurrence of disease
3. Conclude the correct diagnosis
I suggest you to make an appointment with your physician once your medication is over and proceed for laryngoscopy (vocal cord scopy).

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini, General & Family Physician
