A member asked:

What causes sore throats and voice loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral infection: Voice loss (laryngitis) is almost always viral. You can use warm salt water gargles and ibuprofen. If it lasts more than 2 weeks, you may need to see an ENT doctor to have your vocal chords checked.
