I'm dealing with an issue where there's a gap in my left vocal cord. The good news is that it's still vibrating, but this gap has been causing hoarseness in my voice for about a year now. My doctor suggested I take Neurozan to help strengthen my veins, and just to note, I don't smoke. I'm curious if there are other treatments or options I should consider?

I've been reading up on the benefits of taking cold showers, and I'm considering making it a part of my daily morning routine. But I've got a slight sinus infection right now and I'm worried that a cold shower might make it worse. Do you think this is something I should avoid, or is it still okay to go ahead with?

Taking daily cold showers with a slight sinus infection may exacerbate your condition, as cold water can cause nasal passages to constrict, increase mucus production, and potentially worsen sinus congestion; however, some people find that cold showers help reduce inflammation and improve circulation, which may alleviate sinus symptoms.
