Is Speech Therapy Recommended For Vocal Cord Disorder?
I recently had a test done because I am having voice problems that occurred after a fire. The doctor found red marking on my vocal cords and recommended speech therapy, what is it and why would the red marks cause a voice problem. I m sure my doctor will explain on my next appointment but I don t want to wait

Hi,
Scarring of the cords changes their tone. More than the observation of the cords, how the voice sounds is a big clue for giving speech therapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
