What's wrong with hoarse voice?

Sound is produced by the muscles in the vocal organs-the larynx (the "Adam's apple" we touch in the center of the neck is a part of the larynx) vibrating the vocal cords, and the power source of vibration comes from the airflow in our respiratory tract.

When we inhale, the airflow enters the lungs through the open glottis; When we pronounce, air flows through the lungs, passes through and impacts the closed glottis. The sound is produced by the vibration of vocal cords. And these are just the basis for producing sound. A beautiful voice needs the coordinated vibration of the head, nose, mouth and throat besides the length and thickness of vocal cords, which is what we call "* * * *".

Many reasons can cause hoarseness, such as excessive use of voice, fatigue, excessive alcohol and tobacco, upper respiratory tract infection and so on. These factors will lead to vocal cord lesions. In the acute stage, sudden loss of voice, inability to speak or hoarseness often occur, accompanied by sore throat. When you go to the hospital, you will find acute congestion, edema and bleeding of vocal cords. Under normal circumstances, it will get better in about 3-5 days after oral drugs and local drugs are atomized and inhaled.

Of course, during this period, patients need to cooperate with doctors to "rest" absolutely. However, many friends will misunderstand "taking a break". For example, some patients will complain in the clinic: "I haven't spoken for almost a month, why not?" However, after communicating with patients, we will find that they just changed their voice to "air sound" voice with low voice, thinking that this can reduce the vibration of vocal cords.
