I rarely get sick, but am pretty sure I got covid a month ago. Basically 2 weeks of sick, nothing huge but at one point basically had no voice. Now its a month later and I still have lost like half my singing range. My voice just cracks out if I try.

Hope its temporary but I dont know. Anyone else get this?

    You should see an ENT doctor - an otolaryngologist. They can examine your vocal cords. This year’s strain is being compared to razor blades in the throat. Sounds like yours could be related.

      I didnt have amy of that throat pain though, it was odd. I dont even know for sure if it was covid (impossible to know) but im not sure doctors could do much anyway. I still have a little tickle that makes me cough when lying on my back mostly.

      I really only see a family doctor. Ill see if they have recommendations too. Thanks!

    Omg, yes! This is me, too. Not being able to sing like before I got sick is like not being able to move my arms the same anymore. I hate it. Same thing, sick for two weeks, always sliiiightly on the verge of a cough now if I try to sing :(

    I got sick with a 40+ degree fever. My lower voice is fine, but my higher voice has been ravaged for weeks. I also had a cough that lasted for about 3 weeks. No idea if it was covid as tests are not as easily available here anymore.
