What Causes Hoarse Voice While Suffering From Asthma?
I was put on oral prednisone to treat an asthma flare up - was on 60 mg x 5 days then 20 mg x 3 days. One week later put on again- 60 mg x 7 days then 20 mg x 3 days. During second round began cough which became rattling with mucus and became hoarse and unable to talk on the 3rd day. Have been off prednisone x 5 days- cough mostly gone but hoarseness remains although improved. How long until I have my voice back?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It can take a few days to a week for the cough to improve. You would need to rest your voice as much as possible.
The use of steam inhalation and humidifiers may also help as well.
I hope this helps
