The vocal cords are a band of muscle tissue fold located inside the larynx (voice-box). Vocal cords are also known as vocal folds. The function of the vocal cords is to produce sound for speech, protect the airways from getting choked by food, drink or saliva and regulating air flow in the lungs. During inhalation, the vocal cords move apart (get abducted). These vocal cords then adduct or come close together while swallowing and sound production. Any hindrance of nerve supply to the larynx may result in vocal cord paralysis. This condition is also known as vocal fold paresis, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, or vocal fold paralysis. Speaking, breathing and swallowing are the functions that get affected if the vocal cord gets paralyzed. Homeopathic remedies for vocal cord paralysis carry a good scope of treatment. Cuasticum, Gelsemium, and Cocculus Indicus are the top homeopathic medicines used to treat vocal cord paralysis.
Homeopathic medicines for vocal cord paralysis.
Homeopathic Treatment for Vocal Cord Paralysis
The homeopathic mode of treatment is quite effective for managing vocal cord paralysis. From the long list of effective homeopathic medicines used to manage cases of vocal cord paralysis, the major ones are Causticum, Gelsemium, Cocculus Indicus, Lachesis, Stannum Met, Nux Vomica, and Phosphorus. Homeopathy is a symptom-based science where the symptoms provided by the patient provide the key towards the medicines required for a particular case. The chances of recovery in each and every case of vocal cord paralysis are highly variable. Various factors like the duration of complaint, intensity of symptoms, unilateral/bilateral involvement collectively decide the scope of homeopathic treatment. It needs to be noted that in cases of complete bilateral vocal cord paralysis (where the vocal cords are held tightly close together in the midline), there is a decrease in the airflow. This leads to a major difficulty in breathing. In such cases, urgent alternative help (other than homeopathy) should be taken. The homeopathic medicines for vocal cord paralysis should be taken after consulting a well-qualified homeopathic physician.

Causticum – Homeopathic Medicine for Hoarseness of Voice in Vocal Cord Paralysis

Symptoms of Vocal Cord Paralysis
While both the vocal cords may get paralyzed, in most cases only one cord is affected. The symptoms of vocal cord paralysis include – hoarseness of voice, effortful speech, breathy voice, weak voice, vocal fatigue, and inability to speak loudly. Other symptoms that may appear in cases of vocal cord paralysis are – shortness of breath, choking and coughing after eating/drinking, throat clearing and aspiration of food/drink in the lungs.
I was diagnosed with left vocal cord paresis in Jan. 2021, though I have had the problem, apparently due to laryngopharyngeal (silent) reflux, for at least 3 years. I have no pain but have occasional difficulty swallowing, and my voice is low, hoarse, and not very audible, especially toward the end of the day. I like to talk and I tend to eat late in the day or during the night. I have refused conventional medical treatment as unacceptable. I would like to know if homeopathy could help me and how I can access Dr. Sharma’s treatment and at what cost. Thank you.

मुझे लगभग 15 दिनों से वोकल कॉर्ड लकवा हो गया है लेकिन आज पता चला.. बोल नहीं सकती … बहुत प्रयास से फुसफुसाता हूँ, और जब वह कुछ खाता या पीने में खांसी हो जाती है। डॉक्टर ने कहा कि उसका बायां स्वर तार स्थिर है। कहा कुछ नहीं किया जा सकता। मैं होम्योपैथी में बहुत विश्वास रखती हूँ .. क्या कोई होम्योपैथिक दवा है जो वह अपनी स्थिति में सुधार कर सकता है?

hi Dr Sharma I am 9 weeks post covid and whiel it was only mild and treated at home for the past month I have a very hoarse weak voice which fails me completely on continued use so at the moment am staying quiet. I did suffer breathlessness and coughing but the hoarse/ loss of voice has replaced that symptom in the past month. I am aware of a scrathing sensation on teh right and left outer edges of the larynx at night and do feel the need to clear my throat (which I avoid) regularly. I tend to be thirsty. And not to want to sleep at night..

They perform anterior posterior cricoid split with 2 balloon dilation. The issue he is having is that when he gets worked up he begin to pull when breathing and you can get it in his chest and also you can hear the stridor. He condition is all upper airway problems . Since he’s procedure the right side vocal cord is moving a little. All of his test have come back normal it’s not genetic , his brain , heart and spine. MRI X-rays came back normal. He has been in the hospital for two months straight and we still have no idea when he will be coming home and if they going to still decide if he will need a trach. I am overly upset with this situation and him being on strong medication for so long . I just want to wake up and I hear that his vocal cord are working normally and we have our baby boy home

Hi there,
I’m just enquiring about the right remedy to give a friend of mine who is about to go for a third surgery to try and fix his larynx which was damaged after surgery to removed a tumour.
Vocal cord left larynx damaged the nerve
Nerve got damaged due to the surgery after cancer . Stuck in the middle
Airway needs to be bigger
Half of the nerve is paralized and the doctors said his voice will get affected if he goes ahead with the surgery so I am trying to tell him to delay the surgery to see if there is something in homeopathy to help him breath better at night because sometimes he feels like he can’t breath and it’s very scary even during the day if he shows me what happens at night he gets all choked up and can’t breath for a few seconds.
