Vocal Cord Paralysis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vocal cord paralysis occurs when one or both cords lose their normal mobility, which affects the voice, breathing, or swallowing. It can be due to various causes that alter the nerves responsible for their movement.
Common symptoms:
- Hoarse, weak, or broken voice.
- A feeling of shortness of breath when speaking.
- Difficulty swallowing or coughing when drinking.
When should you see a doctor? It is best to seek care when hoarseness lasts a long time, the voice changes noticeably, or problems with breathing or swallowing appear.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional who examines the vocal cords and guides the evaluation. The best course is to have it assessed by a specialist who examines the area directly.
