Hi,

Noted your short history about hoarseness of voice making it difficult to communicate in noisy atmosphere, drinking water or other liquid helps for the time being only.
Your history is suggestive of one of the following causes:
Dryness of pharyngitis. This is also called Pharyngitis sicca. Your voice is improved on taking water or other liquids indicates towards this cause although the water does not reach the voice box.
There can be associated changes in vocal cords.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Laryngoscopy is a must to know the exact cause of your problems.
CT scan is rarely required and may not be required as you are young at 19 hence no cancer can be expected.
Take voice rest.
Do not over-strain your voice.
Take a help of a speech therapist.
Do not smoke and avoid polluted areas.
Continue the medicines till your ENT Surgeon says so.

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

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
