Between 5 and 8% of the world population has problems with the voice. One third of the population uses the voice as a work tool.
Secrets to keep it firm, clear and healthy.
Homeopathy is another resource that can be used in the resolution or prevention of vocal problems. We can use it in children, the elderly and pregnant, as well as in the rest of the population, and there are no side effects. It is very useful in the treatments of the allergic base, repetitive infections, laryngeal inflammatory processes or pharyngeal problems of the esophagogastric section, anxiety, stress, all these problems with influence on the voice.
Why does aphonia usually occur?
Aphonia is the total loss of the voice, this can happen to any person in an acute infection that causes acute laryngitis: in an allergic activation, an infection, intoxication or in a situation of great emotional tension.
What is the mechanism that leads us to run out of voice?
Dysphonia is the alteration in the quality of the voice (the intensity or tone or tone of the voice is altered). The mechanism of production of dysphonia is varied but usually begins with a phonatory hyperfunction (a vicious circle of vocal effort is established – something happens to me that I do not get the right voice – I force my voice – I lose vocal comfort – I force my voice and well over and over again).
The basic tips that we must follow every day to take care of our voice:
- Avoid shouting or overdoing the voice, as well as talking too much time in places with a lot of noise.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not rush or cough sharply, as they can damage your larynx.
- If you suffer from allergies or colds, treat them as soon as possible.
- Certain drugs can alter your voice, consult your doctor.
- Try to sleep the necessary time and do sports regularly.
- Eating a balanced diet and drinking water frequently are two essential habits to take care of your voice.
- If you suffer from hoarseness for more than ten days it is convenient that you go to your doctor’s office.
- If you use the voice professionally, you should take care of it as such; Train it and learn to keep it healthy, and if you notice that your voice gets tired or changes frequently, go to an expert.
- Hoarseness in children is not usual. The vocal health has to begin to take care of itself from the childhood. Do not let your children scream, and if you notice that they have a problem in their voices go to a specialist.
In an aphonia, the treatment is absolute vocal rest about three days, do not whisper, take anti-inflammatories and, if the cause is bacterial, antibiotics. But fundamentally the rest and good hydration.
In dysphonia the treatment will be fundamentally rehabilitative: inform and train the person with problems so that he knows how the voice is produced, how to take care of the voice and how to handle it in a healthy way adapted all this to his personality and his work or his vocal needs. Sometimes it will be necessary to resort to drugs (halopathic or homeopathic), surgery, psychology or combination of several therapeutic options.
