Weak voice, grunting/clearing throat, chronic cough...and much more :(
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello,
Wondering if you can help..
My wife suffers from nose and throat issues which are driving us insane. This has been going on for well over 5 years and is slowly getting worse.
There are the key areas that we need help with:
•Voice – major issues here:
Croaky & hoarse voice (laryngitis?).
Gritty voice & voice fatigue.
Voice is never clear
Grunting (throat clearing) required between most SENTANCES.
Phlegm always needs to be cleared.
•Cough – major issues here:
Chronic cough
Need to cough regularly.
Persistent (coughing fit roughly every hour).
Coughing phlegm.
•Others
Heartburn
Asthma symptoms (inhalers do not seem to help with any of the above).
Doctors have tried different medications but nothing works. I won’t go into detail on what she has tried as I want to listen to your guys suggestions.
Input needed from this community on:
1.What medications have worked in the past for similar symptoms in your experiences?
2.Any advice or help needed.

Improving nutrition is the only answer. It is impossible for the body to heal if there are nutritional deficiencies. Everyone has them to some degree.
I will just make three suggestions for now. The throat clearing can have a number of causes. Acid reflux is one cause. The damage often occurs while a person is sleeping. Acid will creep up the throat and the person can inhale the acid into the lungs. This is very dangerous. I would suggest that you incline the bed 8 inches so gravity helps to keep things down. I usually take a mild calcium antacid tablet at bedtime.
Inhalers indicate a long term issue. Inhalers don't last long and the symptoms often return worse each day. All have terrible side effects.
The best treatment would be juicing of organic dark green vegetables. Kale, Spinach, carrots, whatever is available. More than 90% of the vitamins and mineral we need is found only in vegetables. The standard meal of meat, potatoes and small salad has only a fraction of the nutrients a person needs for health.
You can also add organic probiotic yogurt. It is the best way to re-establish the healthy intestinal bacteria we need for proper digestion. A white tongue indicates a condition of bad bacteria in the gut. It causes Phlegm in the throat and esophagus.
I have more suggestions but it is best to start slow rather than overwhelm. John
