For the past 4 weeks my mum has noticed that her voice is weaker, and she finds it difficult to try and raise it to be heard. She also has the desire to clear her throat more than regulary.
She does not have a sore throat or cold. She is also feeling quite lethargic and tires easily. Does anyone know what symptoms these ailments may be related to. She is also 68 years old (but fit and active for her age)??

It could relate to a number of things from a simple infection, Laryngitis, Vocal Cord Lesions, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease all the way up to something serious such as throat cancer.
