Vocal cord paralysis is a condition in which one or both vocal cords lose mobility due to nerve injury, trauma, infection, tumors, or neurological disorders. It can lead to hoarseness, breathy voice, loss of vocal strength, weak cough, choking, and sometimes aspiration. Unilateral paralysis is more common and may present with mild voice changes, while bilateral paralysis can cause severe voice impairment and breathing difficulties. Early diagnosis and voice therapy are crucial to prevent long-term complications.

Homeopathy treats vocal cord paralysis by addressing nerve function, inflammation, and constitutional susceptibility. Remedies are selected based on the type and onset of paralysis, associated sensations (weak voice, hoarseness, throat discomfort), aggravating and relieving factors, and overall systemic constitution. Treatment aims to restore nerve and vocal cord function, improve voice quality, reduce discomfort, and support overall respiratory and neurological health.
