A member asked:

How to cure a hoarse voice--lemon juice or salt water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Either...: ...Salt water gargles or lemon juice mixed with honey will soothe a sore throat and decrease the inflammation causing the hoarseness. Neither is a "cure", however, since they do nothing to remove the virus, bacteria, or whatever else is causing the hoarseness.
