Patient's question:
Sent once, now that the weather is cold, I sent it again. Is this disease treatable? Can I take Lianhua Qingwen and Chuanxinlian today?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, your condition is likely caused by tonsillitis. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination to avoid delaying the treatment.Symptoms and Treatment of Tonsillitis: Vocal cord polyps, vocal cord nodules, chronic laryngitis: Patients often have a history of excessive vocal use, such as prolonged speaking, loud shouting, or prolonged crying. Or a history of improper vocal use, habitual clearing of the throat, or frequent irritation from smoking and alcohol. Chronic laryngitis and early vocal cord nodules often show intermittent vocal abnormalities, with hoarseness appearing after prolonged vocalization. When vocal cord lesions are significant, persistent hoarseness may also occur. Vocal cord nodules and polyps are more likely to present with persistent hoarseness.
Accompanied by throat pain, swallowing pain, which may appear after a cold or fever, possibly indicating acute tonsillitis. Severe throat pain that does not heal for a long time may also suggest the possibility of laryngeal tuberculosis or malignant tumors. Voice hoarseness, even scratchy, accompanied by a sense of throat obstruction, coughing, blood in the sputum, or neck masses. Older patients should be alert to the possibility of laryngeal cancer. Vocal cord paralysis can also cause hoarseness. Primarily hoarse, scratchy. Sudden voice loss, or as low as a whisper, but normal during laughter and coughing, may indicate hysterical vocal hoarseness. At this time, laryngoscopy may reveal abnormal vocal cord adduction, but the vocal cords can return to normal after coughing. A sensation of a foreign body in the throat, accompanied by coughing, easily fatigued voice, or a tendency to eat before bed, or frequent acid reflux or belching, may also indicate reflux laryngitis. However, some patients with reflux laryngitis may only experience one symptom.
Additionally, trauma, including dislocation of the cricothyroid joint, as well as physical and chemical injuries to the larynx, can also cause voice hoarseness.
