What to do if you have a hoarse throat

Hoarseness can be related to excessive use of voice, laryngitis, vocal polyps and other diseases, and can be treated with vocal abstinence, amoxicillin and other medications, as well as surgical removal of vocal polyps.
Prolonged crying and shouting can lead to excessive use of the voice, resulting in congestion and swelling of the vocal cords, leading to hoarseness, which can be accompanied by a slight sore throat. Symptoms can be relieved by drinking plenty of water, eating a light diet, and abstaining from speaking.
Smoking and drinking, improper diet, catching a cold and other factors can lead to bacteria and other pathogens invade the mucous membrane of the throat, triggering hoarseness, sore throat, pharyngeal foreign body sensation and other symptoms of laryngitis. You can take amoxicillin, roxithromycin and other antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor for anti-infection treatment.
