What to do if your vocal cords bleed? Here are some effective methods for you

Patients with vocal cord congestion must pay attention to not overusing their voices in normal times, and also pay attention to quitting bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and eating chili peppers. If the condition is more serious, you can also use some antibiotics and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Don’t overuse your voice. Overuse of the voice refers to the misuse of the voice (voice) beyond one's ability. Everyone's vocal ability has three aspects: pitch (sound frequency range), intensity (vocal cord tension), and duration (the time used to pronounce sound). If this range is exceeded, vocal cord disease will occur.

2. Actors should not eat too much before singing, and it is best not to eat two hours before.

3. Bad living habits, such as addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, chili peppers, and cold drinks after singing, are harmful to the throat organs. Therefore, try to change such habits.

4. Change the habit of clearing your throat. Many people may often use this action to cough out phlegm in the throat or make their voice clearer, but this action causes the vocal cords to be severely tightened instantly, which can easily cause vocal cord damage.

5. It is best to keep silent for more than 1-2 weeks after vocal cord nodule surgery.

6. When you have a cold, you should pay attention to resting your voice, especially when you have hoarseness or have been diagnosed with laryngitis.

7. Hoarseness often occurs when the laryngeal muscles are fatigued, and laryngeal muscle fatigue is generally difficult to recover from! Professional voice users should pay attention to the need for regular rest of the laryngeal muscles when practicing voice.

If you find bleeding in your vocal cords, you need to reduce the time you speak for two weeks to allow the vocal cords to get enough rest. You can also use dexamethasone to eliminate vocal cord edema, or go to the hospital for ultrasonic nebulization inhalation drug treatment. If you have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as coughing, you need to take some antibiotics orally for anti-inflammatory treatment.
