Customer question:
What can help against hoarseness? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Against hoarseness, several measures can help. It is essential to rest your vocal cords, which means avoiding talking, shouting, or singing. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to keep your throat moist. Warm drinks, such as tea with honey, can further soothe an irritated throat. Humidifying the air in the room using a humidifier can help prevent throat dryness. Avoid irritants such as cigarette smoke and polluted air. Throat lozenges and gargling with salt water can also help relieve hoarseness symptoms. If you have reflux disease, avoid foods and drinks that trigger symptoms and eat smaller meals. If symptoms persist for more than two weeks or additional signs such as pain, difficulty swallowing, or weight loss are present, seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential.
