Question:
|
|
|
| I have a minor problem,im a vocalist for a band with a powerfull deep voice but for the last 3 months it seems to have lost the clarity and ive noticed that i have sore throats more than any other vocalist i know. Also sometimes these sore throats cause me to lose my voice for 2-3 days sometimes even a week.Ive stopped singing for up to a month to give my vocals a rest but it didnt help. My question is 1) Is this a serious problem that i should go talk to my local docter 2)Could it be the smoking thats causing this? Maybe quiting smoking could solve this?Ive only been smoking for a Year by the way.Thank you

| Thank you for your inquiry. We would certainly advise you to see your doctor and have your throat examined to check for possible causes of hoarseness and recurrent sore throats. Smoking can also cause this; singing and smoking are not a good combination.
