Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat With Hoarse Voice

Ive had a cold for almost a week I am pretty sure, runny and or stuffy nose, I had a sore throat but it doesn t hurt anymore, it just gets dry all the time now and its hard to swallow, also coughing, I usually cough up a little bit of mucus, usually only in the mornings then I only cough a little bit during the rest of the day, but my major issue is my hoarse voice that I ve had for three days now. It feels like something is stuck in my throat and I sound all raspy and sometimes I squeak with every word I say and sometimes I can only get out a whisper. I feel horrible in the mornings but I do pretty fine the rest of the day other than my throat feeling clogged. I sound creepy and it makes it difficult to do my job and talk with customers and I dont want to ask questions at school because I am afraid I will squeak with my creepy manly voice. Anyway, is there a quick solution to get rid of my hoarse voice? If so, what is it? pleaaaaase help me.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your elucidate history.
The main cause of such a voice change is laryngitis, meaning inflammation of the vocal cords secondary to the upper respiratory tract infection.

The best treatment plan is :
First of all a strict Voice-Rest.
Decongestant Nasal drops followed by plain water steam inhalation.
A course of oral steroids , antibiotics , anti-inflammatory and decongestant.

This will help you to come out of the present problem within a few days. Please discuss this with your Doctor and you may get a reference for an ENT Surgeon to get a Direct Laryngoscopy to get a proper diagnosis and a prescription for proper treatment.
