Hoarseness is a general term which describes abnormal voice changes. When hoarse, the voice may sound breathy, raspy, strained, or there may be changes in volume (loudness) or pitch (how high or low the voice is). The changes in sound are usually due to disorders related to the vocal folds which are the sound producing parts of the voice box (larynx)
Using your voice either too much, too loudly, or improperly over extended periods of time may lead to prolonged hoarseness ,These habits can lead to vocal nodules (singers nodes), which are callous-like growths, or may lead to polyps of the vocal folds (more extensive swelling).
if this is the case and the cause then try the following :
-simply resting the voice or modifying how it is used,avoid using your voice too long or too loudly.
-Avoid smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke (passive smoking) is highly recommended .
-Drinking fluids is so helpful and fluids
