A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptomatic therapy: Hoarseness due to laryngitis is common with viral upper respiratory infections, like the common cold, and should return to normal after a few days. Meanwhile, simple measures with warm, soothing liquids and menthol throat lozenges may help. Zinc lozenges may also help as well as non-prescription cold remedies that target your symptoms (nasal congestion, cough).
