So a few weeks ago I got over a typical winter cold and not long after I starting getting a raspy voice. At first I assumed it was an extension of my cold, but I went to Florida for 5 days and the whole time I was there my voice was perfectly clear, no raspyness. Is this normal?
I arrived home tonight and within 30 minutes of breathing in the cold New England air the raspy voice has returned. My assumption at this point is that the weather is just being harsh on my throat this season.
~I am not having any trouble breathing
~There is not an insane amount of mucus build up
~There is no pain
~Usually worse when I first wake up, I assume I breath a lot through my mouth when I sleep.
~I have a humidifier in my room, that seems to do nothing and it is only a month old and works properly (is cleaned)
~Drinking fluids helps it for a bit, but it does come back. Just feels like a dry throat
Curious if anyone suffers from the same problem and knows what this is and how to treat it. Perhaps some home remedies and things that have worked for you.
~Thanks
