John asked:


I am coming down with a cold two days before I have to sing at a wedding. I am a trained opera singer, so pls understand that I am not ‘losing voice’ due to any bad techniques. But I need help on how to reduce edema to the vocal folds without risking vocal hemmorhage when I sing.

I have mild laryngitis — I can technically sing, but my head resonance has gone to crap and my control is lessened due to swelling of the cords. Range is down by a whole step, as I have to start covering on F#4 instead of G#4, and I can’t seem to hold the breath very well, presumably because my cords are swollen and can’t close all the way.

This is due to a virus:
My mom came down with something very similar on Christmas (of course), but I did not know about it until after I had been around her for a while. She lost her speaking voice a couple of days later, and is still recovering. I have no allergies or respiratory disorders.

Anyone have ideas on how I can heal by Saturday? Or at least sing?

crap that’s so expensive. and im poor don’t have insurance. general md would charge 50 for a visit, but for ears he may not have good techniques . Last time i did go to MD and he did the irrigation technique of wax removal..that was awesome before, and it worked..but now i’ve had tinnitus, and ruptured ear drum(healed already) and it says in web sites that if you have a history of eardrum rupture or pains, that the irrigation technique is not recmmended. i don’t know if my MD will have anyother techniques
