What is the "white coating and black spot" on my vocal cord?
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: Dec 16, 2023 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
<p>Hello,<br />I had a biopsy on Friday of the white "stuff" on my right vocal cord that seems to be causing me hoarsness for the past year. I have to wait a month for the results.<br />Assuming the result is a fungal infection caused by my steroid inhalers for my asthma, has anyone had experience with "curing" this problem? My ENT will not offer any suggestions yet but said it is difficult to treat since the vocal cords are at the top of the trachea leading to the lungs.<br />Thank you all for your help. I wish you all well.<br />Cathy</p>

Hi Cathee,
My husband has lung cancer and has hoarseness caused by several of his inhalers and his nebulizer medication. They were able to stop some of the medications but obviously couldn't stop them all. Through trial and error, we have discovered that drinking a lot of water helps my husband's hoarseness especially in the morning. Also taking a spoonful of both honey and molasses at the same time daily helps a lot. It helps to stay away from caffeine or limit coffee intake somewhat. Mucinex helps but you are only supposed to take it for 7 days at a time.
Prayer helps also. We pray a lot and my husband's hoarseness has improved quite a bit! I will say a prayer for you.
Merry Christmas!

Medication could clear infection taking antibiotics goggle with some salt water to clear hoarness asthma you do need a medication for that really stop your airflow and you won't be able to breath if severe asthma not control by medicine and it's just like an infection that you need medication a fungus is a bacteria cleared with medicine.Approved
