Can a lost voice be restored to normal in one day?

Loss of voice indicates inflammation, and it is impossible to fully recover to normal in one day. You can drink more water, try not to smoke or drink, try to control your volume and not speak too loudly. If possible, it is best not to speak. You must do appropriate outdoor activities in normal times, pay attention to balanced nutrition, improve your immunity, etc., which are all good for your throat.

1. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and coffee. Maintaining a balance of water in the body can adequately moisturize the vocal cords.

2. Don’t smoke. Even passive smoking should be avoided because smoking can significantly increase the risk of laryngeal cancer.

3. Don’t overuse your voice. Don't scream or speak loudly in noisy areas. If your throat feels dry or your voice becomes hoarse, stop talking. The speaking voice should be kept normal, not too high or too low. Speaking in a low voice is also not good for protecting the voice.

4. Don’t clear your throat too much. Because when you do this, the airflow will violently vibrate the vocal cords, causing damage to them. If you feel any discomfort in your throat, take small sips of water or swallow. But if you have to clear your throat constantly, see your doctor; perhaps a condition like reflux disease or allergies is to blame.

5. Try not to speak when your voice is hoarse due to a cold or infection.

6. How to protect your throat

The throat is not only the necessary path for normal breathing, but also an important voice box. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to protecting their voice, especially teachers, actors, and broadcasters.

First of all, we should pay attention to persist in outdoor activities to enhance the body's defense against disease and avoid the occurrence of pharyngitis and laryngitis.

The second is to develop good throat hygiene habits. Rinse your throat with clean water before and after meals, drink more tea and keep your throat clean. Smoking and drinking should be done in moderation, otherwise it will irritate the throat tissue and cause chronic inflammation.

If your throat becomes uncomfortable, itchy, dry or burning, hot fumigation can be used. The method is to breathe into a steaming teacup or teapot with your mouth, and the discomfort will soon disappear. You can also pour about 30 ml of compound benzoin tincture into a large pot with about 500 ml of boiling water, and breathe into the hot steam. It is possible to also use chrysanthemum, honeysuckle or puffed sea to make tea.
