, inflammation of the vocal cords must also be treated. Pi laryngitis (larynx disease) they become inflamed and increase in size. Thus, air enters the lungs with difficulty. A cold is not the only situation in which there is swelling of the vocal cords, viruses and allergies also harm.
About the dangers of self-medication

It is quite appropriate to use traditional medicine. For example, warm milk with honey for drinking and potato juice (raw) for rinsing. You can prepare horseradish infusion (pour finely grated root with boiling water, insist for several hours and consume a little every hour with honey or sugar). A googol-mogul perfectly helps with hoarseness: a spoonful of honey, a spoonful of butter, a spoonful of lemon juice, a spoonful of brandy and fresh egg yolk, beat in a mixer and swallow half a spoonful every hour, at least half an hour without washing anything, so that the mixture spread over the throat, absorbed and softened the inflamed vocal cords. Again, if the throat hurts badly, self-medication is dangerous. It must be seen by a specialist. Moreover, the voice for many is a working tool.
