Vocal Cord Dysfunction: Treatment
Differentiating asthma from VCD is very important. Addressing any uncontrolled asthma symptoms can contribute to better identifying triggers for VCD, and therefore preventing the development of symptoms. Controlling allergies and GERD will also help to manage VCD effectively.
In addition to avoiding known triggers, treatment for VCD typically involves activities that relax the throat muscles including:
• Speech therapy
• Deep breathing techniques
