What is the reason why hoarseness has been bad?

Drink plenty of water, try to be plain water.

If it doesn't work, go to the hospital and prescribe cold medicine!!

Sound is produced by the muscles in the larynx, the articulatory organ, which vibrate the vocal cords (the "Adam's apple" we touch in the neck** is part of the larynx), and the power source for the vibration comes from the airflow of our respiratory tract.

When we inhale, the airflow enters the lungs through the open glottis; When we pronounce a voice, airflow passes through the lungs, passes through and hits the closed glottis, and the vocal cords vibrate to produce sound. In addition to the length and thickness of the vocal cords themselves, a beautiful and beautiful voice also needs the coordinated vibration of the skull, nasal cavity, mouth, throat and other structures to participate together, which is what we call "resonance".

Hoarseness can be caused by many reasons, such as excessive use of the voice, fatigue, excessive tobacco and alcohol, upper respiratory tract infection, etc., which can cause vocal cord lesions. In the acute phase, there is often a sudden loss of voice, inability to speak, or hoarseness, accompanied by throat pain. Examination in the hospital will find acute congestion, edema, and bleeding of the vocal cords, which will generally improve in about 3-5 days after oral medication and local drug nebulization inhalation**.

Of course, during this period, the patient needs to cooperate with the doctor to absolutely "take a break". However, many friends will have misunderstandings on the point of "sound rest", for example, in the outpatient clinic, some patients will complain: "I haven't spoken for almost a month, why is it not good?"

However, after talking to the patient, they will find that they have simply changed their speech to a "gas" speech with the glottis lowered, believing that this will reduce vocal cord vibration.

1. Inflammatory factors: such as throat inflammation, acute laryngitis can cause vocal cord congestion and edema, causing patients to be hoarse or even unable to speak. Chronic laryngitis can also lead to hypertrophy of the vocal cords, causing the patient to be unable to speak; 2. Traumatic factors:

When a traumatic blow to the larynx causes damage to the vocal cords, the patient will have hoarseness; 3. Vocal cord lesions: for example, benign lesions of the vocal cords, including vocal cord nodules, polyps, cysts, etc., will cause hoarseness;

Which of the following is NOT the cause of the abnormal voice: Language.

Voice is a sound produced by using the exhaled air to vibrate through the resonant cavity of the body. The organs involved in speech and singing are composed of three parts: articulatory organs

Larynx, speech (sound) organs: larynx, pharynx, lips, teeth, tongue, etc., and resonance cavities of the body: larynx, chest, pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity.

These three parts work together to allow us to speak normal language and sing beautifully. Dysfunction of these three components can lead to speech disorders, loss of voice, change of pitch, difficulty in pronunciation, or loss of specific vocal abilities (e.g., singing, etc.).

Common voice disorders** include:

1. Excessive pronunciation, improper use of voice and bad living habits: Misuse and abuse of voice are the most common voice diseases. For example, the patient often speaks in a noisy environment; Likes to scream or dig for a long time without a break; The frequency of pronunciation is not appropriate, etc.

Bad lifestyle habits include smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc.

2. Infection and inflammation: acute or chronic upper respiratory infection, tonsillitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, etc. can affect the vocal cords and affect the vocalization.

3. Tumors and proliferative diseases: vocal cord tumors, vocal cord polyps, etc.

4. Neurogenic diseases: vocal cord paralysis or vocal cord spasm due to nerve disorders innervating the vocal cords.

5. Trauma: Common cricoarytenoid dislocations and laryngeal fractures.

6. Systemic factors: such as endocrine dysfunction (changes in sex hormones, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), reflux laryngitis, and mental factors caused by vocal disorders, most commonly in young female patients, who suddenly lose their voice after emotional agitation or mental trauma, and have normal vocal cord appearance.
