Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
I have had a horse voice for over 2 weeks. It started with a sore throat which was negative for strep. After 3 days, I had crusty eyes in the morning. Started amoxicillin 500 mg x 10 days. Cleared the eyes but still am horse. Was told it is a virus that settled in throat area. No chest or head congestion. Was told it could last another week or two. Any suggestion?

Basically hoarseness of voice due to congestion of vocal cords.have plenty of fluids,keep yourselves well hydrated and avoid talking loudly. Have some voice rest.stay away from antihistaminic drugs,it will worsen condition.
