I rarely get sick, but am pretty sure I got covid a month ago. Basically 2 weeks of sick, nothing huge but at one point basically had no voice. Now its a month later and I still have lost like half my singing range. My voice just cracks out if I try.
Hope its temporary but I dont know. Anyone else get this?
No but I sure can’t suck a dick like I used to.
You should see an ENT doctor - an otolaryngologist. They can examine your vocal cords. This year’s strain is being compared to razor blades in the throat. Sounds like yours could be related.
I didnt have amy of that throat pain though, it was odd. I dont even know for sure if it was covid (impossible to know) but im not sure doctors could do much anyway. I still have a little tickle that makes me cough when lying on my back mostly.
I really only see a family doctor. Ill see if they have recommendations too. Thanks!
Actually you may still be able to test for covid. The home tests don’t test for covid directly, they test for the antibodies your body makes to fight covid. If you had covid you probably still have enough antibodies to be detected.
Omg, yes! This is me, too. Not being able to sing like before I got sick is like not being able to move my arms the same anymore. I hate it. Same thing, sick for two weeks, always sliiiightly on the verge of a cough now if I try to sing :(
I got sick with a 40+ degree fever. My lower voice is fine, but my higher voice has been ravaged for weeks. I also had a cough that lasted for about 3 weeks. No idea if it was covid as tests are not as easily available here anymore.
