Question:
How do i avoid damaging my vocal chords when sick?
I've developed a chest infection for the second time this year, and i can't stop coughing. i have already lost my voice several times, is there anything i can do to prevent damaging my vocal chords, and is it likely that i may permanently damage them?
Answers:
As a nurse, I would think that you should be resting your voice if you are coughing as much as you say. Make sure to see a doctor for the appropriate check-up and medication, especially if this is a recurrent condition.
