i'm not FtM but i hear gargling salt-water helps, or drinking warm milk mixed with honey does too! ; v; i really hope your throat feels better soon!

What is the medication you are taking called?

ahhhh, i havent started myself, but as far as i know thats normal. at this point your voice should start changing, i think it typically is pretty uncomfortable, maybe youre body is just more sensitive to it?

Been on hormones for about nine months. Never experienced such a sore throat (and I have also had it many times in my life), but it is likely that you might need to increase your fluid intake. If I don't drink a lot more than I used to, I tend to get headaches.

Do you mean millilitres or milligrams? I've been taking an average of 100 mg/ml each week (or so), and if you're on a higher dosage, it might just be your voice changing making you hoarse. It might feel scratchy, but if you open your throat and try to use a lower register, it'll probably feel better (if that is the case).

I had a sore throat, but never so bad it felt like strep. It was more like "I wonder if this is the T or am I getting a cold?" That was within the first three months. I'm actually on month 5 now, and I woke up today with a bad sore throat, now that I think about it. It's much worse than last time. I assumed I was getting sick, since I've been staying up late and not taking such good care of myself because of finals week. Now I'm wondering if it's the T again.

My throat felt strange when I first started; I would drink water all the time, and I'd still get no relief. In the end, it was my voice dropping, so hopefully this is the case for you as well.
