It can be due to reflux laryngitis. Proper history to be elicited to know more about this. Habits, co morbid conditions information is needed. Also examining the throat including the vocal cord will help us know the cause.

Further consultation and examination. If reflux laryngitis, voice rest with medication will help. For others, once the diagnosis is confirmed..treatment can be given accordingly.
