What's wrong with my throat?
Hello all!
I have had congestion in my throat since Thursday. Each day it has gotten worse and I have begun to get a hoarse, raspy voice. It is really bad (I can't talk) in the morning but gets less noticeable as the day progresses (liquids make it better). Even then, though, it fluctuates - I'll be fine and talking reletively easily one moment but it will be cracking the next. I also feel as if I can't cough enough, like the mucus can't come out. I don't have a fever or bad nasal/sinus congestion. There is also no throat pain. Is this just a passing cold?
Thank you!

hello
it sounds to me as though this could be a bit like a viral infection that is affecting your vocal chords, and/or a chest infection following your symptoms of a chesty cough. my advice to you would be to seek medical advice from your gp.
