Question 1

havr lost my voice however have no pain why does this keep happening 2 to 3 times per year?

Accepted Answer

Laryngitis: Usually when you loose your voice for a few days with no other symptoms this is a case of laryngitis. There is inflammation lower down in the trachea 
although no pain. The best thing to do is rest your voice and it will improve in a few days.

Question 2

i have totally lost my voice 3 times in the past 6 months. what causes that?

Accepted Answer

Aphonia: Greetings.  Recurring episodes of complete loss of voice should be evaluated by your ENT physician.  Viral laryngitis is a common cause.  A vocal cord nodule,  polyp or lesion could also be causing the problem.  A video stroboscopic evaluation may be recommended.  Good Luck.

Question 3

i'm a 27year old female, very active non-smoker.  i've been coughing up mucus for over a year; in the last 2 weeks i've completely lost my voice?

Accepted Answer

See a ENT doctor : If you have had cough for a year and lost voice now, definitely, you need to see a ear/nose/throat specialty to exam your vocal cord and pharyngeal area.

Question 4

i have no fever, but i've had a sore throat and lost my voice for 3 days now and i throw up bile about 4 times a day?..

Accepted Answer

Sounds viral: But if this does not clear up or become appreciably better in the next day or so, suggest you see your PCP.

Question 5

is it common to have laryngitis everytime i get a cold... i recently has globus due to stress and now i have lost my voice for the 4th time this year?

Accepted Answer

Reflux?: See ENT or internist to rule out a severe case of gastroesophaheal reflux which can be asymptomatic except for recurrent bouts of sore throat. Heartburns, slow digestion, and bloating may be hints pointing to the diagnosis. A throat exam can tell you if the problem is reflux. Otherwise get checked for strep

Question 6

i am having nose bleeds,swollen throat,loss of breath and lost my voice.  i have been working around blk mold for about a year?

Accepted Answer

Working around mold: you probably got sensitized to that mold or developed chronic inflammation of your airways, upper and lower,need to see your doctor/allergist to sort your problems out, in the interim keep using saline nasal wash, salt water gargles, wear a mask,  see your doctor soon for the immediate problems as nosebleeds/shortness of breath, later you need to be referred to work out a plan for your ? Allergies

Question 7

what to do if i cannot scream anymore, it's been years 2-3years since i lost my voice?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: Symptoms persisting for this long suggest that there is a chronic problem.  You should see an ENT specialist to have the vocal cords and larynx examined.  There are many problems which could lead to your voice being altered this long.  Many of these are quite treatable.

Question 8

in minor car accident three days ago. no injuries. horse voice yesterday and now today lost my voice this morning. can this be associated or im sick?

Accepted Answer

Most likely no: I think this is coincidental that you lost your voice around the same time as the car accident.  I recommend you keep an eye on your symptoms, and if you start feeling worse, get in to see your doctor.

Question 9

i have lost my voice but no pain.  just a dry throat.

Accepted Answer

Give it a few days : Are you feeling unwell - recent viral infection.  Acid reflux? Have you raised/strained your voice singing recently?  Give it a few days

Question 10

i lost my voice during a very bad cold that lasted for three weeks, now my voice is hoarse. what could this be? is there any home remedies?

Accepted Answer

Laryngitis: See my tip on this. Try to rest your voice for about three days. Increase humidification in the bedroom, drink extra fluids, avoid shouting or raising your voice for about 2 weeks. This will  allow the inflammation of your vocal cords to resolve. If you still have problems after instituting these measures for 2 weeks, see an ENT.
