A member asked:
I have had the flu for about 5 days, and now my voice is hoarse, and it goes in, and out, what could be causing this, and long will it last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy: Treat it as an allergy it will last as long as you are keep getting exposed to the substances you are allergic to. Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night. Take non drowsy allergy medicine like Zyrtec/ Claritin/ Allegra during the day. Take one large tablespoon of your own local farmers grown honey every day
