I had a sudden sneeze with a mouthful of coffee. I held it and i had no voice for a month! Now my voice is lower - like I blew out one of the higher toned vocal cords. Also possibly stinky breath in the months following. Did I kill a vocal cord?
well i should welcome myself to this odd group. was having a bit of cold and cough and suddenly one day i sneezed hard and had a severe pain in my throat. wasn't sure what that was all about so ignored it but sure enough with the next sneeze it became only worse. i do not have a history of holding my sneeze but have done it sometimes. now i can feel a lump on my left side of the throat and it pains severely every time i sneeze and my throat is very husky and feels raw when swallowing anything. any confirmed diagnosis or successful treatment?
My husband has some the same thing hence me googling and finding this site. He was driving so held his sneeze in and heard two clicks and was in a lot of pain and couldn't swallow. Went to a and e then ent and they said they thought he had torn his thyroid cartilage. Put a camera down his throat but whilst they could see trauma thought it would heal on its own. It has got worse and he sounds like he has laryngitis and Adams apple looks really swollen so he went back in tonight and is having a scan in the morning to see exactly what is going on
Hi Folks - had the same symptoms. Went to the doctor, did xrays and something called a fluid challenge. They determined that in my case it was a pulled muscle inside my throat.

Another website says you may have fractured your larynx. I forgot to save the website so I can't put it here but you can probably google again and find the info.
