Many people love smoke
Vicissitudes style
But many people's voices are smokey
In fact, the throat is "sick"
"Doctor, is my throat still saved?"
A corporate executive made a hoarse voice
Mr. A, who had severe hoarseness, had undergone general anesthesia intubation cholecystectomy surgery in the outer courtyard before January, and after the operation, he developed hoarseness, performed laryngoscopy, and found that the left lychee cartilage was dislocated, and the hoarseness improvement effect was not good after trying to reduce it. Mr. A's profession is demanding on his voice, and the effect of treatment through drugs and surgery is not obvious, and he is very frustrated.
After detailed examination and discussion, the voice team of the Department of Otolaryngology of Xiangya Third Hospital formulated a voice rehabilitation plan for him. After 5 1-month voice training, the sound quality, pitch and loudness of the patient's voice have been significantly improved, the tension of the left vocal cord under the laryngoscopy is restored, and the glottis is closed.

How to maintain my daily voice?
In order to reduce the occurrence of voice diseases, we should also pay attention to the maintenance of the voice every day.
1. Keep the humidity of the vocal cords, drink warm boiled water more than 2.0-2.5L several times a day, which can reduce the mucosal damage caused by the vocal cords hitting each other;
2. Avoid or reduce irritating foods: such as spicy foods, stir-fried goods, barbecues, hot pots, fried foods and carbonated drinks such as cola and sprite.
3. Reduce the consumption of caffeinated foods: strong tea, coffee and other beverages contain caffeine ingredients, which are easy to dehydrate the vocal cords, and are easy to cause gastroesophageal reflux, causing damage to the vocal cords; if you need to take it, pay special attention to appropriate water replenishment;
4. Avoid smoking and drinking: nicotine and alcohol in tobacco are easy to dry the vocal cords and cause vocal cord edema, pain, and inflammatory changes, affecting the vibration of the vocal cords;
5. Avoid colds and colds, strengthen physical exercise, improve the body's immune resistance to diseases, expand lung capacity, and enhance the activity of vocal organs.
6. Avoid voice abuse: habitual throat clearing or frequent coughing will damage the vocal cords, if you want to clear your throat or cough, you can use small sips of water or chewing gum to replace;
7. Avoid excessive use of sound (shouting and long speech): such as long-term speaking window workers or teachers try to use microphones when lecturing, reduce the volume of speech; control the pitch volume when singing, do not sing hard and cannot sing high notes;
8. Avoid whispering: the vocal cords and vibration are not completely closed and correspondingly weakened when whispering, and still maintain a normal state of vibration and expansion, at this time the pronunciation vibration is the most laborious and inefficient;
9. Understand the effect of drugs on the voice: many drugs will dry the vocal cords, including antihistamine drugs, antidiarrheal drugs, anti-nausea drugs, peppermint-containing drugs, etc., which need to be used under the guidance of a doctor;
10. Do relaxation exercises: relaxation exercises can help the oral, jaw, shoulder and neck muscles relax, and reduce the tension of the vocal cords.
An OT. specialist reminds you:
If the voice is hoarse or dysphonic for more than two weeks, it is recommended to go to the department of otolaryngology, undergo endoscopy, find out the cause of the voice disorder, and cooperate with voice treatment for the cause of treatment, in order to restore the voice to the best state, while avoiding the recurrence of some primary diseases.
April 16 is "World Voice Day", hoping that through our popular science, we can raise everyone's awareness of throat voice diseases and strengthen the awareness of voice health - "make your voice more beautiful".
