What should I do if my vocal cords are swollen

The swollen vocal cords are likely to be caused by laryngitis. This disease is divided into acute and chronic types, and the causes are different, so the symptoms are also different. In general, patients with acute laryngitis will show congestion and edema of the vocal cords, while patients with chronic diseases will have symptoms such as unclear voice, hoarseness or sore throat, etc. So what should we do if the vocal cords are swollen?

First, what should we do if the vocal cords are swollen? The vocal cords of patients with acute laryngitis will be congested and edematous. When the disease occurs, the patient's light voice may become dim, and the heavy voice may become hoarse or suddenly lose his voice. If it is chronic laryngitis, the patient's vocal cords will be chronically congested, the mucosal capillaries will dilate, the patient's vocal cord mucosa will also be rough and fat, the voice will be dull, and there will often be hoarseness. If the patient with laryngitis speaks for a long time, the pain will also increase.

Second, patients with laryngitis generally have clinical symptoms such as hoarseness, especially when they speak loudly or continuously. Their vocal cords are incomplete, so they often have difficulty speaking. Patients with laryngitis will also feel pain in their throats. The voices of patients with laryngitis will also deteriorate and will be very different from their original voices. These are symptoms that are very easy to detect.

Third, if you suffer from laryngitis, you must seek timely treatment and choose the appropriate treatment method. Generally, it is treated with medication. The medication for oral administration must be non-irritating and non-corrosive, and harmless to the body. In normal times, patients can also use lozenges and tablets for treatment, which usually have bactericidal and antibacterial, swelling-reducing and astringent effects. The medication cannot be too bitter, otherwise it is difficult to exert its efficacy. Gargles are commonly used medications with good therapeutic effects and patients can use them.

Through the above, we know what the symptoms of laryngitis are. Laryngitis is generally divided into acute and chronic. The symptoms of the two are different. People should learn more about it. Generally, patients with laryngitis will have symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, sore throat, and changes in the sound quality of the voice.
