Intermittent left throat pain and hoarse voice for a year, thyroid issue?

I have been experiencing intermittent pain on the left side of my throat. Sometimes the pain eases, but it returns again. For about a year, my voice has changed — it sounds like someone with a cold, and my voice often gets hoarse, especially when I try to sing. Recently, this has become much more frequent. I don’t know the reason for it. Could it possibly be related to a thyroid condition?

It is hard to hypothesize on a cause only by using the provided information. My recommendation is to start by checking the mobility of the vocal cords by doing a laryngoscopy test. Of course this will also rule out other problems of the area. If this comes back normal your ENT will help you by ordering an ultrasound and other imaging tests. The thyroid gland could sometimes be associated with dysphonia, as the laryngeal nerve passes through it.
