A member asked:

Would you be able to cough normally if you have spasmodic dysphonia diagnosis ? i have strangled voice with breathiness but normal cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysphonia: It is mostly about the breath and posture to produce a normal voice sound with dysphonia. There may not be coughing with this disorder. Drinking fluids daily is also important to keep vocal cords healthy/hydrated. With time, this can improve. Welcome to health tap, Dr. Ivy Fisher
