Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
As you are having hoarseness and dysphagia, I am suspecting a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. You can rule out that with the help of an ENT doctor. The nerve injury might get resolved gradually with out treatment in some cases. Corticosteroids are advised in some cases and have got good results.Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Let me know if you have any further query.
