Colds, excessive load on the ligaments can cause a sore throat and a voice. What to do - wait until it passes by itself, or start treating immediately? Of course, a treat. If this is associated with a cold, then it is clear that the treatment will be appropriate, comprehensive: thermal procedures, rinses, pills. But what if the voice of a person for whom it is a working tool has sat down ? For example, the announcer, artist, teacher?
Silence is gold
It may seem strange, but the features of the treatment are practically the same, depending on the reasons for which the voice sat. What to do in each case is a matter of personal choice of one of the many ways to correct the situation. First of all, the throat needs peace, that is, silence. And this is understandable, a torn voice at a rally or at a two-hour lecture should only blame yourself and take care of your ligaments for several days, trying not to even speak in a whisper. Often the voice returns in a day or two in such a sparing mode.
Throat loves warmth
Silence is not enough, you also need to warm your throat. It’s enough to at least tie a woolen scarf around the neck. Warm drink is a must, but hot drink is by no means! Like cold and spicy dishes. Among the connoisseurs of the problem, there are some disagreements about warm milk with honey: some strongly recommend drinking it, while others strongly advise against it. So, away from sin, let us turn to other means that can no less effectively help if the voice has sat down.
What to do to quickly restore the ligaments?
Any disease ever goes away. But what if tomorrow you need to sit down at the microphone, speak at a concert, go to an important meeting? There are many ways to "first aid" torn ligaments. The author of these lines accidentally discovered the famous Chaliapinsky recipe - they claim that the great artist could tidy himself up overnight and sing again in a huge hall without microphones the next day. Half a heap (50 g) of real cognac (it still needs to be found!), Heat, dissolve three teaspoons of good honey in it, drip three drops of lemon juice and drink it overnight. Yes, not in one gulp, but in small sips. They say that in the morning the voice will again ring. According to another version, two teaspoons of sugar and two whipped egg whites are added to cognac.
There is another proven remedy - aniseed seeds. Half a glass of seeds should be poured with a glass of hot water and heated in a water bath for fifteen minutes. Strained broth mix with two tablespoons of honey and a spoonful of brandy. Then, as usual, drink. And so 9-10 times every half hour. You can more often. How to deal with such a volume of alcohol is also a question, but those who tested the method themselves claim that this is the number one remedy if the voice is gone. What to do - art requires sacrifice.
Some useful tips
Tip one and the most commonplace: take care of your throat. Do not overcool. Do not talk, much less scream in the cold. Among the first reasons why the voice sits is smoking. It would be nice to drop it or at least take a break until the ligaments come back to normal. If you have to talk a lot by occupation, try not to talk after work to relieve ligaments. By the way, it can be useful for a healthy microclimate in the family - who needs long conversations? And the main advice - be healthy.
