VOCAL HEALTH PRODUCTS

The best form of hydration for the larynx is water; however, symptoms may be severe enough that additional products are needed for immediate temporary relief. Here are some products that may help offset the feeling of dryness in the larynx. This list is not meant to be exhaustive but should provide you with some direction about useful products that are readily available. These products do not contain alcohol, menthol, or eucalyptus (ingredients that are known to contribute to dryness and irritation). Ingredients that can be soothing and that provide relief for dryness include glycerin, slippery elm, and pectin. Keep in mind that what works for one person may not work for another. And remember, these products do not treat the underlying problem; they only provide temporary relief of symptoms, so it is essential to continue to follow your doctor’s advice to improve the health and well-being of your voice.

Most of these products are available at several local retailers, including Walgreens, Target, Harris Teeter, CVS, Food Lion, Kroger, WalMart, and Rite Aid. For those products that are harder to find, purchasing information is provided as part of the product information.
