• Vocal Rest: Allow your voice to heal by avoiding excessive talking or singing, especially if you experience hoarseness.
• Gentle Vocal Exercises: Gradually reintroduce your voice to singing with light humming and lip trills before moving on to full vocal exercises.
• Breath Work: Work on deep breathing exercises to improve lung capacity and breath control.
• Steam Inhalation: Using a steam inhaler or taking warm showers can help reduce inflammation and soothe the vocal cords.
