If your voice is hoarse, here are some ways to recover quickly. Rest your voice as much as possible and avoid talking loudly or for long periods. Drink plenty of water to keep your throat hydrated. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. Sip warm liquids like tea or honey water. Avoid irritants such as smoking and secondhand smoke. Gargle with warm salt water to soothe the throat. If the hoarseness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms like pain or difficulty breathing, see a doctor. The doctor may recommend medications or further treatment depending on the cause.
