When without a doctor is notdispense with
The loss of voice is usually not perceived as a threatening state, if it's not about singers or, for example, radio announcers. Usually the patient simply waits, when speech appears again and does not hurry to address to the doctor. However, such a problem can be symptoms of serious diseases, for example, throat swelling. 
The development and degeneration of formations can be absolutely painless, so a frequent loss of voice without objective reasons( disease, overstrain) may indicate such a disease. It is also necessary to guard against prolonged "silence" without symptoms characteristic of colds.
Problems in the child
It's doubly scary when the voice disappears from the child. If before there were no cases of inflammation of the vocal cords after ARI or bronchitis, it is necessary to pay attention to such a symptom.
In addition to the above, there may also be the following reasons:
- Croup or stenosis of the larynx .A very dangerous disease, characterized by the rapid development of edema and narrowing of the respiratory lumen. Especially dangerous in younger children.
- Foreign body entering the larynx. Little children often try everything on the tooth, which is fraught with dangerous situations. If the child suffocates and can not cough up a foreign object from the throat, the priority task is to provide emergency medical care.
In any case, you should not treat your baby yourself if his condition worsens dramatically, and breathing becomes more difficult. In severe cases, the only thing parents can do before arriving at the ambulance is to provide warm and moist air for breathing, as well as a quiet position and plenty of drink.

Preventive measures
No one is immune to loss of voice, especially considering the state of the current ecology. Harmful emissions and air pollution, bad habits( and their own and surrounding people), as well as numerous viruses and bacteria - all this is just an incomplete list of harmful factors. The human lung system is designed for a huge resource of activity, but the quality of such "work" can be significantly improved and independently.
Basic prevention methods: 
- Refusal from bad habits.
- Frequent walks in the fresh air( ideally it should be a park, forest or beach).
- Regular recovery( especially useful in mountain and sea air).
- Comfortable food temperature.
- Timely treatment of colds and SARS.
If the voice disappears without the temperature and soreness in the throat, the causes should be sought in overexertion or inflammatory infections. Not always this condition can be cured independently, and in case of frequent problems with vocal cords it is better to seek help from a specialist. The main reasons, treatment and prevention of such conditions are discussed in detail in our information.
