Hoarse voice: laryngitis treatment. Video
It is possible to cure the throat and restore the voice both with the help of traditional medicine and with proven folk remedies.
Doctors call this disease laryngitis. Most often, the disease is manifested by a sore throat, pain when swallowing and a painful unproductive cough. Symptoms can occur both at the onset of a cold, and a few days after a seemingly complete recovery. The reason for the delayed manifestation of laryngitis is, as a rule, improper treatment of a viral infection or a bacterial complication.
Hoarseness of the voice is a consequence of inflammation of the larynx and vocal cords.
How to quickly restore a hoarse voice with a cold
It is possible to restore the voice with laryngitis and hoarse voice with the help of anti-inflammatory drugs. These include various throat sprays and lozenges. They contain antimicrobial components that help to cope with infection and get rid of all manifestations of the disease. It is necessary to carry out treatment with a course of at least 5 days, even if the improvement came earlier. Otherwise, it is likely that laryngitis will recur, and in a more severe form.
During treatment, it is necessary to give the inflamed ligaments complete rest. You can not only shout, but generally talk, including in a whisper. That is why it is best to sit out the illness at home, even if the general state of health allows you to go to work.
Also, warmth is of great importance in treating a hoarse voice with a cold.
It is necessary to drink warm drinks (tea, herbal teas, fruit drinks and fruit drinks), and wrap your neck with a woolen scarf or shawl. If all the above measures are followed, improvement, as a rule, occurs already on the second or third day.
Treatment of laryngitis with folk remedies
Folk remedies for the treatment of a hoarse voice are sometimes no less effective than medicines from a pharmacy. They can be used both in combination with medications prescribed by a doctor, and as an independent therapy. The only condition: it is better to carry out treatment under the supervision of a specialist to make sure that the disease is really regressing.
Gargling is the most well-known home treatment for laryngitis.
To do this, you can use a solution of soda or sea salt (1 tsp of the selected product in a glass of warm water), as well as decoctions of the following herbs:
sage,
St. John’s wort,
calendula,
pharmaceutical camomile,
eucalyptus.
For the best effect, you can prepare decoctions from a mixture of several herbs. For example, a decoction of chamomile, calendula and sage, mixed in equal proportions, is very effective. The optimal ratio is 3-4 tablespoons of raw materials per liter of water.
It is necessary to gargle the throat every one and a half to two hours. The broth should be pre-strained and cooled to a temperature of 37-38 degrees. For one procedure, 100 ml of liquid is enough.
Lemon can help treat a sore throat and a hoarse voice. It is necessary to cut the citrus into thin slices and dissolve each of them within 5-10 minutes. It is necessary to carry out the procedure every half hour or hour, however, it should be remembered that this method of treatment is undesirable for people with sensitive tooth enamel.
Lemon will be more effective if you squeeze the juice out of it and mix it with honey. It is desirable that the ratio of honey to lemon juice be equal. The resulting mixture can be eaten with hot tea or sucked in the mouth until completely dissolved.
The above mixture can be enriched with aloe juice. It is also anti-inflammatory, but it tastes very bitter and can cause disgust or even nausea in some people. Ideally, 5-7 drops of aloe juice are required for a tablespoon of honey-lemon composition, but if treatment is poorly tolerated, it is better to halve the dosage of aloe. It is necessary to take the resulting mixture every two hours. It is advisable not to swallow it right away, but to keep it in your mouth until it finally dissolves.
A chicken egg will help restore a shrunken voice. It is necessary to grind one raw yolk with a teaspoon of sugar and add a little butter to the mixture. You need to use this remedy 3-4 times a day between meals.
For treatment, you need to use only fresh village eggs. Before use, they must be thoroughly rinsed and rinsed with hot water. Otherwise, there is a risk of catching a severe intestinal infection – salmonellosis.
Laryngitis can be cured with inhalation. For this, it is advisable to use eucalyptus or menthol oil. Add 70-80 drops of oil to a pot of water, the temperature of which is 3-5 degrees, and mix everything thoroughly. Then you need to bend over the container with the resulting liquid and inhale the aromatic vapors for 5-7 minutes. The effect will be higher if you do it with your mouth. The procedure should be carried out 3-4 times a day. It is important to observe safety precautions so as not to burn yourself.
