Good evening. I had a cold about a week and a half ago. I got over it but then about 3 days ago I lost my voice out of no where. Then my throat got sore. Of course there are old remedies so i drunk some hard liquor and the sore throat went away the next day but my voice was still gone. today my throat was sore again so i did the same thing. When i woke up for work i swallowed and the sore throat was gone but now there is a lump every time i swallow. I dont feel it when i drink but mostly when I swallow.
Hello, It seems you have had a severe laryngitis. Until the vocal cords edema fully settles and nerves become normal, voice would not come totally. To hasten it steam inhalation to b done 3 times a Daytona Voice rest Chat Doctor. Antihistamine like fexofenadine, loratadineSmall dose of steroidsVitamin B Since it seems your infection is settled no need of antibiotics. Anyhow it would take about 3-4 weeks to recover your voice totally. Hope this helps. Thank you.
