Q: i had a bad case of laryngitis about four weeks ago. ever since, my voice tires very easily becoming very hoarse by the end of the day. is possible to have developed a polyp or scarring?

: This can be answered best by a visit to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat doctor) who can easily visualize the larynx with a nasopharyngoscopic exam.

An ENT doctor can examine your vocal cords to diagnose or rule out polyp or other lesions. If there are no organic lesions, consultation with a speech therapist would be prudent.
