Question: i am 81 and just this year started experiencing the raspy, very frustrating especially trying to carry on a conversation with several people. I just read an article indicating this could be caused by a Rx - if so how can I overcome the raspy voice?

Brief Answer:
Better to consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Raspy voice in old age must be evaluated by ENT doctor to rule out internal laryngeal and vocal cord pathology.
So consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination.
If this is normal then no need to worry much.
This can be age related also.
Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day can be useful.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
