Q. How to get rid of teacher's nodules?
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from teacher's nodules. It is on and off for the past eight months. I took some medication, which was prescribed by my doctor. Whenever I keep mum, my voice is improved. But, I cannot stop speaking loud due to my profession. I really want to get rid of them as I feel heavy, cracked and low pitch voice. Please help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can very well understand your problem.
- Teacher's nodules (vocal cord nodules) occur in teachers, singers and children due to vocal trauma. Voice rest is the foremost recommended treatment for such nodule.
- I know due to your profession you cannot do this. But, try to give rest to your voice when you are at home.
- I suggest tablet Pantop 40 mg (Pantoprazole) daily in empty stomach and do steam inhalation twice a day for two weeks.
- Avoid hot and spicy foods and do not gargle. Will all these, you will feel better.
