Hoarse Voice
Many people with sore throats also have a hoarse or husky voice. Their voice may sound raspy, strained or softer in volume. People may have difficulty understanding a person with a hoarse voice. Issues with the vocal cords, such as an inflamed larynx, commonly cause hoarseness.
Smoking and acid reflux are other causes of this change in voice. Eliminating the problem may be achieved by resting the voice for a few days and drinking plenty of hydrating fluids to moisten the throat.
