How to recover from antihistaminic dysphonia? ice-cream? now 2nd day. i stop antihistamines and moved to montelukast.

All antihistamines: can potentially cause voice change b/c of their tendency to dry out your mouth, throat & upper respiratory tract. Most medications are out of your system in about 5 days altho the vocal cords may need a few extra days to fully recover. Meanwhile, stay well-hydrated (ice cream is an enjoyable way to do this), continue Montelukast (Singular) and avoid straining your voice. Dr. Anne.

Time: Give it a few days to recover. I presume that you were taking the older generation antihistamine (Benadryl, hydroxyzine etc) which tends to dry up the throat. If the problem is indeed from antihistamine, it will recover within days. In the meanwhile, lozenges, honey, lemon drop (sugar-free) , ice cream or whatever soothes it can be taken.
