Bookaren, talking about hoarseness of voice, I have something to share. In my case, at one time my voice could be very clear especially after sipping some water. But in another minute, without knowing why, it could be very hoarse. Sometimes friends who are not used to my change of voice would get worried about my hoarsenss. Then it was me who comforted them by saying that it would become better later. I also find that my voice tends to be better when talking over telephone and then it is worse after dinner. As I am a school teacher, I am anxious every time I step into the classroom because I am not sure if that lesson can be conducted in a clear or hoarse voice.
