Can asthma cause laryngitis?

Over the years, I have lost my voice quite a few times after heavy bouts of asthma coughing. It is very common, so do not worry too much. Resting your voice and drinking warm water usually brings it back in a few days.

Don't just keep drinking ginger tea hoping your voice will come back. If you have asthma and are hoarse for more than two weeks, it could be a fungal infection from the steroid pump. Get it checked by a real doctor instead of relying on internet tips.

I understand completely how scary it feels when you lose your voice and can't breathe properly at the same time; I used to panic badly. It turned out to be mild laryngitis from my inhaler use. Make sure you gargle with warm water after every puff.

The dry powder from some asthma inhalers can settle in the throat and cause irritation or horse voice if you don't rinse. Always rinse your mouth and gargle thoroughly after using your preventer pump to prevent this kind of throat inflammation.

The continuous coughing really tears up your throat tissues. I find that inhaling gentle steam and taking a teaspoon of warm honey mixed with a pinch of turmeric helps soothe the voice box immensely, along with keeping hydrated.
