Monday, August 27, 2007Singers often overuse steroids in the form of cortisone to control inflamed vocal cords — sometimes in amounts that can permanently impair their abilities, say performers and their doctors. Others drink too much. Still others snort cocaine, according to insiders. That post nasal drip which is just a minor annoyance for most of us, can be devastating for a singer, especially an opera singer who can't hide behind the drums and bass guitar. If someone could come up with a sure-fire cure (that didn't have the side effects and health hazards of steroids) he'd make a lot of money. posted by Sydney on 8/27/2007 08:36:00 AM 2 comments 2 Comments:If someone could come up with something that really worked for any of those day to day minor annoyance symptoms that get so much worse during allergy season or with a cold they would make a FORTUNE. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any solutions to post nasal drip. Indeed we're going backwards by taking away pseudoephedrine which actually worked and replacing it with drugs that dont work nearly as well. I guess that either there are no good chemical solutions, or that the drug companies dont think they can talk the insurance companies into covering post nasal drip as a drug that is necessary. I for oen would happily pay cash out of pocket for something that actually helped my daughter to sleep at night instead of clearing her throat for hours every night in spite of multiple drugs that dont appear to do anything at all.
By Nasal wash with a pinch of MSM does it for me.
