Overview:
Hoarseness is a change in voice quality, often resulting in a raspy or weak voice. It can be caused by vocal strain, infections, acid reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux), smoking, or vocal cord lesions such as nodules or polyps.
Treatments

Allowing the vocal cords to heal by minimizing talking or singing.
Hydration and Humidification
Staying hydrated and using a humidifier can soothe the vocal cords.
Medications
Acid-reducing medications for reflux or antibiotics for infections may help.
Laryngoscopy
A diagnostic procedure to visualize the vocal cords and detect abnormalities.
Voice Therapy
