SEVEN SORE THROAT REMEDIES!

 Admit it! Singing is one of our stress relievers. We don’t care if we’re on the right tune. We just want to shout it out. While trying to reach those high-voice wrecker notes, you felt a little dryness and coarseness but you didn't mind it. Instead you had a lip session with your very cold magic drink to feel relief. The next day you woke with a little uneasiness and you had a hard time uttering a word but you were not worried. It seemed normal to you but think of this, laryngitis is no chicken. If you love your voice, here are some advice I could give:

DON'T EVEN WHISPER

Talking is the major enemy of laryngitis. As much as possible don't even whisper. Whispering causes your vocal cords to bang as like you are shouting. Give your voice a rest.


 

HOT AND COLD

It is important to maintain the moisture of your vocal cords. You can use a cold air modifier or you could have yourself inhaling bowl of steaming water for 5 minutes twice a day.

WATER BREAK AND NO TO ICE

This is also to keep your cords moist. Drink at least eight to ten glasses. Tea with honey or lemon is also good.


 

 


SMOKING KILLS

It will cause dryness and coarseness.


 

 
 COUGH DROPS

Menthol and mint are not good; it will have a drying effect. Honey and lemon flavored drops are a lot better.



 

 

AMPLIFY IT

If your job requires shouting and yelling, don't strain your voice. Use a microphone or a mechanical amplifier.

 




 

GET A TRAINER.

If you really like singing, do it professionally. Have a trainer and sing correctly.
