A member asked:
How much stress will it take for your vocal cords to form nodules? i am a high school student in chorus and do a lot of singing and lately iv'e had a very soar throat and worried about damage to voice

No way to say: Rest the voice, like the pros. Low probability to ruin the voice at your age but an ENT doctor would likely be the best to answer. Good luck.

Stress Vocal : Most of us will not form nodules, no matter what we do. But, repeated vocal strain, especially in someone with acid reflux is the usual situation. Best approach is to practice a warm up routine before singing. Ask you chorus leader to suggest a warm up routine. Drink plenty of fluids before performing. Avoid antihistamines before performing.
