My son recently underwent a pulmonary function test for asthma and they concluded in addition to mild asthma, he had vocal cord dysfunction (his vocal cords close up) during exercise. He also has a lot of hoarseness when he sings or speaks, and an otolaryngologist recommended prilosec or prevacid for acid reflux and medrol
for inflammation (he had some around the vocal cords). Neither worked. The inhalers only make the hoarseness worse. The woman the pulmo recommended us to doesn't take insurance, and it's just too expensive to do without. Anyone know of a good speech therapist in the tri-state area? Thanks.
