Hello Dr, my voice is choked for 5-6 months. No pain . Feels better when I cough and spit out. Upon investigation Dr said it is because of a warty nodule. Can this be taken care with Homeo ? How. Much time will it take to remove this nodule?
Hello,
I have been struggling with hoarse voice following use of a potent hormonal medication over 2 years ago. I notice my voice is different in the morning and pitch keeps changing constantly. I find that I don’t have a feminine voice anymore. It’s frustrating but I don’t know what I can do to change it or modulate it. Is there anything you can recommend? I am thinking of buying Homeovox by Boiron for a trial. Do you think this product will help?
