A member asked:

What is the best remedy for a hoarse voice from sore throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rest: Your best bet is rest and not using voice and speaking as little as possible. But anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen can help. If more serious then cortisone can help too. Drink cold fluids too. But if symptoms not improving see your doctor for sure.
