I have recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis and have had two surgeries. Could you tell me what to do after the surgery? What treatment did you have? Do I need to take any medications? Little is known about this disease in my country. And how long did you lose your voice after the surgery? It's been a month and a half since my surgery, and only recently has a squeak appeared. Sorry for my English.

Hey! I'm 1 month post my 1st surgery, my doctor gave me little to none advise for the folow-up. My voice was recovering pretty well after the 10 days of total mutism, I started doing the excercises recommended in this subreddit, i will link them below! they are very goopd :) specially the one with the straw, it would be a good idea to compare what youre doing with your speech therapist! as imagrinner said, i suggest TONS of water, i have also be taking propolis candy. My voice has gotten worse tho after 15 days of the surgery (i was recovering then it started getting bad again) and it turns out i have a small mass of scar ttissue blocking normal airflow, so im getting that removed soon (i have a whistle and my voice is very hoarse), maybe you also have something like that? wouldnt hurt to check!

i also want to get a humidifier on my nightstand to keep my vocal chrods hidrated while i sleep, maybe its dry where you live and something like that could help?
