What can Cause Strained Vocal Cord?
• Strained vocal cord usually is a result of misuse and overuse of voice. Speaking continuously or loudly may strain the vocal cords. Other reason being singing in an improper manner and excessive coughing may also strain the vocal cords. • Vocal cords when strained produce a typical symptom i.e. hoarseness of voice. If hoarseness persists for a longer duration then this needs investigations to rule out other causes leading to laryngitis.
