Throat problem

Asked for Male, 35 years

Im experiencing problems related to my voice and throat. For the past few months, my voice has not been as deep as it has always been. If I try to lower it to how it was before, it takes a lot of effort. I am feeling like something is stuck in my throat around my Adam's apple. I had an upper endoscopy. Theysaid theres no problem of throat. My gastroenterologist diagnose GERD. After taking high doses of Omeprazole and Zantac I still have no relief. please suggest a solution

Dear Patient,

Seems like your vocal cords are affected. You will need to visit an ENT who can examine these and tell you more about the problem.
Due to speech overuse sometimes professionals like teachers/singers and even regular people may experience vocal nodules etc. When these occur one should rest their voice and gargle with salt and lukewarm water to soothe and rest the vocal cords. For a limited time, you may be asked to communicate only by writing and not talking. This is a mild condition that settles down itself with rest.
If you smoke or consume alcohol consider quitting.
