What should I do if I lose my voice? Emergency recovery measures.

Probably, every adult person, at least once in his life, and faced with a situation where his voice was lost. It would seem that an hour ago everything was in order, and now instead of a normal speech you pronounce hoarse sounds or you can communicate at all solely in a whisper.

This situation is especially difficult if the patient's work involves constant verbal communication. And there are a lot of such professions. This is the teachers, and guides, and sales consultants, and artists. Naturally, if a person has lost his voice, he simply will not be able to fulfill his professional duties. What to do in this case?

First, to successfully solve the problem, it is necessary to understand what causes caused the state, as a result of which the voice disappeared. And these reasons can be many.

For example, you can lose your voice as a result of a lot of stress, anxiety or nervous disease. If you are just overwhelmed, for example, before a responsible performance, then the usual calming can help. But the consequences of serious stress often have to be overcome with the help of a psychotherapist.

Another reason, as a result of which you can temporarily lose your voice, is an excessive load on the ligaments. This happens if a person is too emotionally ill on the sports platform or is forced to speak loudly and loudly. If you have lost the voice for this reason, then the best solution to the problem will be the rest of the ligaments, that is, you will have to shut up for a while, switching to sign language. Do not try to talk in a whisper, for a weakened vocal cords this is a very big load. In addition, it will be necessary to exclude the use of excessively hot and spicy food, as well as carbonated water and strong coffee.

Quite often the voice disappears during the cold, in this case we are talking about a disease like laryngitis. To treat this disease should be under the supervision of an otolaryngologist. Do not treat this disease lightly, if you ignore the advice of a doctor and continue to load inflamed ligaments, you can get a persistent violation of voice formation - dysphonia. In addition, untreated acute laryngitis can go into a chronic form, and then you will lose your voice at the slightest load or hypothermia. For example, eat one serving of ice cream, and in the morning you will find that you have a hoarse voice.

With laryngitis, as a rule, an abundant warm, but not hot drink is prescribed. Not bad helps the proven "grandmother" method - the reception of warm milk mixed with a spoonful of butter and honey. Showing and inhalation using the decoctions of herbs - chamomile, eucalyptus, calendula.

But what to do if the voice is gone, and tomorrow you will have a responsible speech? Of course, the best option would be to contact a phoniatric doctor, a voice restoration specialist. But since such doctors do not work in all polyclinics, you can try to take advantage of recipes offered by traditional medicine.

Here, for example, is a recipe that can help in an emergency. We take fifty milliliters of good cognac and warm it to a warm state (boil and heat until the scalding temperature is not necessary). Add to the cognac three spoonfuls of honey and three drops of lemon juice. We drink small sips.

A more gentle method of solving the problem of the missing voice is to prepare a kind of gogol-mogol. We beat two eggs with two tablespoons of sugar and add to this mixture fifty milliliters of cognac. Pour into a separate glass of warm water and start drinking our cocktail, alternating a sip of the mogul-head with a sip of water. This mixture should be drunk before bedtime and immediately go to bed. By morning, as a rule, the voice is restored.

Another ancient recipe that will help, if the voice went missing, is carrot milk. We boil one hundred grams of carrots, peeled and cut noodles in half a liter of milk. Filter the resulting broth and use it for drinking small sips and gargling.

In case of a cold, you can apply an old way to restore the voice - put mustards under your knees and calves. And in socks it is necessary to pour a powder of dry mustard, put them on and go to bed.

Be healthy and surprise everyone with your beautiful and sonorous voice!
