Hoarseness – Duration

Transcript

If you’re suffering from a hoarse voice, you may be wondering: how long does it take to get your voice back? Well, hoarseness can last for days, weeks, or even months, depending on the cause. Hoarseness due to overuse of the voice typically goes away in several days, but hoarseness due to laryngitis or inflammation of the vocal cords can last up to two weeks. See a doctor if you’ve had a hoarse voice for a month, as the underlying cause could certainly be more serious.
