Why Am I Always Hoarse?
During cold, winter months, it is common to experience the uncomfortable feeling of a sore throat or a hoarse voice after a long night of sleep, or after overextending your voice in chilly weather. In situations like these, a scratchy throat usually clears up quickly, or can easily be soothed with a warm drink or gargling saltwater.
