Doctor's answer:
Hello: After a cold, a virus first invades, followed by a secondary bacterial infection, which can easily cause acute inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa. If it affects the vocal cords, they become congested and swollen. Additionally, with congestion and swelling of the laryngeal mucosa, the amount of secretions increases, becoming thick and difficult to cough up. These secretions adhere to the surface of the vocal cords, thereby obstructing their movement during opening or closing. This is why hoarseness is common after a cold.Therefore, the first step is to actively undergo examination and diagnosis to determine the exact cause. Only then can specific treatment and medication be determined.
