Tobi causes me to loose my voice

Hey everyone. I started tobi about 5 days ago and I am slowly seeing signs that my voice is getting slower and slower to slipping away from me. I know this is a side effect and I mean it could be worse but I just find it really annoying and it makes it really hard to cough.... which is frustrating. I was just wondering if anyone had found any tricks that they use to get their voice back faster after starting the tobi. Let me know
Thanks

It usually gets better after about two weeks. One of my son's lost his voice every time, the other never did. Our doctor said its pretty common, also common for people to get fungal infections in their throats during TOBI.

Sorry, I sympathize but don't have any solutions.

I used to have this happen, then long story short I found that I had some acid reflux and the tobi was magnifying the effects the acid was having in my throat and on my voice. Once I started on Prilosec I have not had a problem with loosing my voice on Tobi since. If sure this is not the same for everyone having voice loss problems with Tobi, but that is what it turned out to be for me.

I used to lose my voice on tobi but the last couple years I was on it, it stopped. It may have been because I was on heartburn meds as well.

I lost my voice and it did not come back after stopping Tobi! It lasted 5 weeks until a doctor (I visited for another reason) said, I should try Voltaren tablets and that helped after 1 day already.
