Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hoarseness and pain in throat which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to laryngitis which leads to inflammation of vocal cards. You should continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food. avoid cold beverages. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial amoxicillin or anti viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants. You should go for get laryngoscopy as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
