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?
Yes, laryngitis is a known possible effect of Covid. If it doesn’t seem to be coming back after two weeks, I would suggest a doctor if you can, maybe even an ENT specialist specifically.
Stay hydrated, eat well, go easy on your voice, cough drops, etc. Beyond that generic advice, especially if you’re a singer, don’t fuck around with dumb advice from Internet strangers. I saw someone during the depths of Covid recommend shots of olive oil to “lube” the vocal chords; replies were from people who did it and gave themselves the shits.
