Question

I have found out that there are currently medications for vocal cords.

Answer

Hello

The fact that there are medications for vocal cords may lead to the prohibition of straining the vocal cords on Shabbat. According to the principle that any illness for which there is a remedy in the form of medications is prohibited to be treated on Shabbat even without medications. 

However, it should be noted that this is true only if the medications are intended for the same type of illness in the vocal cords for which the exercises are intended. But if it concerns different issues, there is no prohibition on exercising. 

Wishing you a complete recovery
