I lost my voice and have severe sinus drainage are they related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Severe post-nasal drainage, either from nasal allergy, viral rhinitis or rhino-sinusitis can produce a voice disorder by producing inflammation of the vocal folds. The resulting inflammation is almost always viral. So yes, the infected mucus drainage down the back of the throat can contaminate both the larynx and the bronchi.
