Hello doctor,
I am suffering from vocal folds swelling. I feel my voice is too low. Local ENT specialist advised me to take steam through mouth. Please help me out.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Vocal cord swelling may be due to various causes like respiratory tract infection, gastric reflux, voice abuse, etc. So, first thing you need to do is absolute voice rest for couple of days and maintaining proper voice hygiene. Except that to minimize reflux, avoid spicy and fried foods. For supportive treatment you can take Rabeprazole 20 mg once a day. Steam inhalation is a good curative method.
