A member asked:

If speech (breathing) therapy doesn't help what else can you do for vcd (vocal chord dysfunction)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: In some cases, reflux treatment is added to reduce the irritability of the throat & voice box. Benzodiazepine medications can be used when the condition is severe.
