Singer: Great question. Could be dehydration silent acid reflux or vocal cord nodules aside from drinking more fluids see an ENT to look at your vocal cords.

Hoarseness for month: Time to see an ENT specialist to get checked out. There are many possibilities. You need to be carefully diagnosed and treated.
