Question 1

is it possible to lose your voice due to allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. This is a common complaint of patients with chronic allergies. Copious post nasal drainage, inflammation in throat and larynx, excessive mucous congestion in throat can cause you to lose your voice.

Question 2

i've lost my voice due to allergies but it's coming back but not all of the way, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See ENT doctor: Loss of voice or laryngitis is  commonly secondary to a viral infection.  Voice rest and fluids usually allows recovery within 2-3 weeks.  If allergy is the cause of sever post nasal drainage, certainly, that may also cause inflammation of the vocal folds.  If dysphonia (alteration of the voice) persists for more than 6 weeks, i would suggest you see an ENT doctor for an evaluation. Allergist also.

Question 3

i lost my voice due to allergies/singing. if i do mot talk and drink plenty of fluids, how long until my voice comes back?

Accepted Answer

Voice rest: Most causes of hoarseness are viral or vocal misuse.  Voice rest would be advised and can take 7 to 10 days to resolve you should notice improvment in 48 to 72 hrs.  If your symptom's persist beyond 3 weeks and ENT exam of the throat would be advised.

Question 4

can allergy cause nasal voice?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The symptoms of nasal allergies include sneezing, itching, runny nose, nasal congestion and often itchy, watery eyes.  The nasal congestion can lead to a nasal tone to the voice.  Anything that causes nasal congestion and/or obstruction could lead to a nasal voice.

Question 5

can oral allergy syndrome cause voice hoarsenss?

Accepted Answer

Oral allergy synd: Yes, but it's not common. Many patients with this problem do not require specific treatment, because the symptoms are mild. Sometimes if they want to eat the fruit, they pre-medicate themselves with antihistamines. If the reactions are really bothersome or dangerous, with throat closing and hoarseness, the food should be avoided as best possible, and epi pen carried.

Accepted Answer

Rinse mouth : The steroid spray may result in a thrush infection on the vocal cords. I would suggest that he rinse after use of the inhaled medications. If his voice worsens or persistently is changed, please see an ENT specialist who may visualize the vocal cords. 
Avoid triggers such as pollen, dust, mold and animal dander. Allergy testing, nasal and ocular saline rinses are also useful.

Question 9

i have a nasal voice since birth first i don't recognise it but slowly i recognise that i'm nasal i have no allergies so give me some tips?

Accepted Answer

See Allergist: Might be worthwhile seeing an Allergist for further workup and evaluation. Skin testing or blood testing for sensitivity to both indoor/outdoor allergens is indicated if you are having congestion, running, sneezing, etc. Once sensitivities are determined then a better treatment regimen can be prescribed.

Accepted Answer

Singing: Need to have ENT look at your vocal cords. Advise voice rest until you have evaluation. No throat clearing, smoking, alcohol. Drink a lot of water
