Hi,

As per your query you have hoarseness and pain in the throat which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to laryngitis which leads to inflammation of vocal cards.

You should start doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with a glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. Avoid cold beverages.

I would suggest you consult an ENT specialist for proper examination. The doctor may order test like viral culture test, throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. The doctor may prescribe antibacterial amoxicillin or antiviral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants. You should go for laryngoscopy as well to rule out any hidden diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
