Suggest Remedy For Hoarse Voice With Cough

I am a recording artist.I have been hoarse for 2 weeks. I had been coughing for 2 months. I finally got rid of the cough using natural herbs, as I don't like taking medications. Do you have any suggestions of home remedies for the hoarseness as I need to get it back. Help

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain coughing can be due to Bronchitis that can occur following cold while hoarseness of voice seems to be due to Laryngitis or inflammation of the vocal cords secondary to throat infection..
It can occur due to bacterial or viral infection while can be due to irritation like acid reflux,sinusitis,post nasal drip,allergies etc..
So the first thing that you should do is to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated for the exact cause of the problem and treat accordingly..
In case of infection you can be given antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkillers and throat lozenges for relief..
If it is due to irritation removing/treating the cause of irritation can help..
As of now:
-Do warm saline gargles, do steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
- Suck throat lozenges.
-Avoid spicy and sharp foods..
-Sip on plenty of water, preferably warm throughout the day..
-Speak less and avoid shouting to prevent straining and irritating the vocal cords..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
