Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

I have a couple of thoughts regarding the symptoms you have described. This might simply be related to vocal cord fatigue which develops over the course of the day. This might depend on the amount of talking that you do during the day and how loud you actually speak.

in addition, sometimes information of the vocal chords or occasionally a polyp can develop on the vocal cord which could contribute to development of hoarseness overtime during the day.

Another consideration would be acid reflux which can contribute to information involving the vocal chords.

If this is a persistent problem then it would be reasonable to bring this to the attention of your Doctor Who might refer you to an otolaryngologist who specializes in ear nose and throat ailments. This particular doctor might use a small camera to actually visualize your vocal chords which could help provide a definitive answer to why your symptoms have developed.

thank you again for sending your question.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
