I am a trained opera singer, so pls understand that I am not 'losing voice' due to any bad techniques. But I need help on how to reduce edema to the vocal folds without risking vocal hemmorhage when I sing. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: See an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor right now. Vitamin C speeds healing time, and Ibprofen is an anti-inflammatory, so both might help reduce swelling. I also suck on cough drops with vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea when I'm sick. Break a leg. |
