Hi, Kathy, my voice is never back to normal although better than before. I couldnt even cough at that time. If you can cough it is getting better. It took me more than a week to be heard. I was whispering at that time. I think talking might have helped to get some voice back! I am having cough if i talk more or laugh!
Hope it helps you. Lots of hot water with honey and ginger!

Hi Sam, I’m just wrapping up my 2nd week at NJH, and had a consult with speech therapist.
She informed me that Arikayce causes thrush or can cause, which results in loss of voice. My voice is slowly getting better and she said is it doesn’t resolve by next Monday or Tuesday to contact my local doctor and get on an anti fungal medication called Diflucan. Another name for Diflucan is Fluconazale.
Have you tried that? She said there’s many causes for voice loos but that’s what has resolved the Arikayce loss of voice.
