I have slight pain and irritation in throat which aggravates when I speak louder. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 55-year-old male. I am having a slight pain in the middle of my throat (Adam's apple), as if some small inflammation is there at the end of the tongue or neck for the past one week. I am not having any difficulty in speaking or eating but some kind of irritation prevails. I tried salt-water gargling twice or thrice a day and feel relief to some extent. It is to state here that about five days back, I was reciting slokas a little loudly for about one hour and I had the pain. I stopped reciting in loud and the pain came down. Yesterday, when I recited slokas a little loudly, my pain returned. No cold, no cough, no fever and no difficulty in breathing. My hearing is good. No reduction in appetite or in taste. I feel comfortable when I take warm liquids. I have (long) belching for at least five to six times after intake. Since lockdown is continued, I am unable to visit an ENT specialist now. Can you please assist me?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You might have caused some mild injury to the vocal cords while reciting the slokas loudly. You need to give your vocal cords rest by not talking or singing for a few days followed by restricted use of voice for the next week. You must not sing or speak loudly or in unnatural frequencies. You should not shout or whisper also. You will need medicines for stopping belching and acidity. Antiallergics and antacid syrup may help. If there is any nasal complaining please let us know as we would have to give some medicine for that too. Do revert back if you need details.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
