More information
However, hoarseness can also be an expression of a serious illness. A doctor should be consulted if no cause for the hoarseness can be established. This also applies if the hoarseness does not subside even after weeks. If the hoarseness is associated with serious symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath or difficulty swallowing, a specialist is definitely preferable to home remedies anyway.
In most cases, hoarseness is a harmless inflammation that subsides after a short time. Nevertheless, it should be observed carefully, because in a few cases serious illnesses are also the cause.
