Here’s the one ailment men may secretly wish their wives would come down with … even just occasionally
It's no fun when your vocal chords have taken a battering, for whatever reason.
Many men may watch in awe at the speed, volume and magnitude of their wive’s ability to talk.
About what exactly they’ll probably never know, but for sheer scale, it’s incomparable to anything they’ll ever understand.
But too much talking can damage your vocal chords and leave you with a voice more suited for a chat line.
Or in medical terms: laryngitis.
Infection of the nasal passages can also have a detrimental effect.
So, what’s the best way to recover your voice?
