What Causes Losing Voice With Sore Throat?

I continue to loose my voice almost every other month for almost a year now. sometimes it comes with a sore thoat like it is today. I thought originally that it was related to weakness in my body when my iron is low but i have been eating iron rich foods and taking iron pills. What could it be?

Hi, thanks for your query.
You might be having infection of the vocal cords called laryngitis , usually following throat infection.
Apart from this, you might be having vocal cord nodule or other lesions of vocal cord causing loss and hoarseness of the voice.
I were your treating doctor, I would have examined you first by doing indirect laryngoscopy, diagnosed the disease and then would have treated you accordingly.
Emperically you can take serratipeptidase +trypsin+ chymo trypsin combination drugs thrice daily for 2 weeks.
Give adequate voice rest and do steam inhalation.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
