Sensitive Spot In Throat While Speaking. Could It Be Strained Vocal Cord?

Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern and deeply empathize.
Your doubts maybe right.
Talking at a certain pitch causing pain may be a sign of an ailment of the vocal cord.
It seems that you have a vocal cord strain or a vocal cord nodule.
Avoid irritants such as smoke, alcohol, and caffeinated beverages. Overtime abuse of these substances tends to harden or tighten voice muscle tissue.
Correct breathing techniques and speech modulation lessons may reduce the strain on your voice
You may moisten your throat by sucking on lozenges, chewing on non-sugar gum, or taking salt-water gargles.
Drink plenty of fluids throughout strenuous voice activity. Sipping on warm water with honey can soothe inflamed vocal muscle tissues.
Try to talk in a soft voice instead of whispering as this puts more strain on your vocal chords than normal speech.
If the problem persists or aggravates please do consult an ENT doctor.
If you have any further queries, you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Have a nice day.


It should take a week to heal.
If it does not heal, kindly see a specialist.
Strep throat usually causes sore throat .It responds to Betadine gargle. You can try it if you have a sore throat.
Get well soon.
