Ear-Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions voice

Why is my voice so weak?

I lost my voice around 3 months ago and even though it came back it has been super weak ever since. Why is it still so weak?

Hello,

It depends on the reasons for the loss. If it is still weak for more than 3 weeks, would suggest consulting with an ENT Specialist.

Hello,

The only true way to answer that is to see an ENT for a laryngoscopy. That’s a short endoscopy usually done through the nose. That will give you an idea what is happening with your voice.
A WEAK VOICE MAY BE A RESULT OF SWELLING OF THE VOCAL CORDS AND WHEN THE SWELLING GOES DOWN THE VOICE RETURNS,,,,SOMETIMES THE VOICE IS WEAK FROM A VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS AND WITH TIME MAY NOT RETURN EITHER CASE NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED BY INDIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY DONE BY ENT SURGEON WHO THEN MAY ORDER TESTS ETC
See Ent for endoscopy. Could have paralyzed vocal cord
