Rhinitis usually does not affect singing when symptoms are mild and not clinically significant, but in severe cases it may affect singing to some extent due to breathing problems.
Vocalization in singing is through the impact of gases on the vocal cords to produce vibration and sound, which requires the chest, mouth and nasal cavity to resonate together.
Patients with rhinitis may experience varying degrees of nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose. When rhinitis is severe, singing is usually not affected if the patient with rhinitis is in the asymptomatic stage or if the symptoms are mild because the vocal cords are undamaged and the airflow is not restricted. However, it is also recommended that the patient rests and avoids over-exertion.
If the rhinitis is severe, with severe nasal congestion and runny nose, the passage of gas through the nasal cavity will be restricted, which may affect the regulation of gas and resonance when singing, and thus affect the vocalization.
Rhinitis patients need to consult a professional doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
