Does severe. coughing damage your vocal cords? my voice isn't the same.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: A severe cough can lead to vocal chord inflammation, tear, or even coming loose. However, other causes of vocal chord change and voice change are far more common and can be a sign of serious illness. See an ENT or pulmonologist as soon as possible to get checked out.
