My throat has been really uncomfortable lately. it's feeling quite itchy and at times feels like i am losing my voice almost. could it be an infection?

Possibly: The answer depends on the duration of your symptoms and other complaints that you may also have. Typically a throat infection would not persist past 1-2 weeks, but post nasal drainage from an allergy or cold could linger longer, drain to your voicebox an cause some hoarseness. Another common cause of a persistent sore throat is acid reflux, usually occurring silently while you sleep.
