What Causes Losing Of Voice Frequently?

I keep losing my voice frequently. I will start coughing for a day or two and then it is gone. It has becoming more frequent in the last year or two. I have lost my voice about 6 times. I do have a wet cough but this has only happened the last two times.

Hi,thank you for posting your query on health care magic.

Voice abuse(speaking in an abnormal pitch for a longer time like whispering or shouting,or voice overuse),repeated exposure to dust,cold food,etc are most common causes of Inflammation in the voice box-Laryngitis (Vocal cords-Larynx) causing voice problem.

At present you may find relief by taking the following medication:
Analgesic with Antiinflammatory like Ibuprofen,Antacid like Rantac,Antihistaminic like Cetrizine,Cough expectorant like Ambroxol.

Also do steam inhalation.Take voice rest.Drink lots of warm fluids.Avoud cold food and dust.

If Vocal abuse seems a cause in your case,then it would be advisable to consult a Speech therapist to understand the correct way of producing Speech.

Hope this answers your question.Take care.
