Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Since last Thursday I ve had a croaky voice and sore throat, I went to the docs yesterday and he told me I have tracheitis, for the past three/four days I ve hardly had a voice with only a few words coming out, I work in a call centre so have been sent home past two days and going to have to have today off too, how long will this last because I need to be going in work
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If it's tracheitis then it is most probably due to infection.If a patient comes to me with such problem I would first do blood investigations to confirm infection then advise him antibiotics and medications to reduce pain and swelling so that he can feel better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
