I'm like Amy...I don't lose my voice completely, but I'm always a bit raspy and feel like I have to clear my throat ALL THE TIME. It is the single biggest problem in my relationship with my boyfriend because he has this obsessive compulsive weird thing with throat-clearing; it drives him CRAZY (and I can't help it, lol)
I have no idea how to make it better - hot tea maybe? or hard candy to suck on is a good idea already mentioned too. If anybody figures out the ultimate solution to this problem, PLEASE share <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"></end quote></div>
Instead of clearing your throat try swallowing hard to get it down so you don't have to clear your throat, plus that also helps your vocals chords if you swallow, clearing your throat can put a strain on the vocal chords, I read that on some health site. I try and do the swallowing thing but sometimes I forget to.
