Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of hoarseness which are pointing towards laryngitis which leads to inflammation of vocal cards.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do:
- Start doing warm saline gargles.
- Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food.
- Avoid intake of outside food and cold beverages.
- Drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water.
- Take steam inhalation along with vaporizers.

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. The Doctor may order throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes.

The Doctor may prescribe anti-bacterial amoxicillin or anti-viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
