I Work In Sales So Speak A Lot. I First

I work in sales so speak a lot. I first experienced total loss of voice mid way in conversation and my throat really hurt. This happened 3 l-3 times over a 1mth period.

Doctor reckons I could have damaged my vocal chords and needed to rest voice for period of time which is impossible due to my job.

This was 2yrs ago now and I still get the same symptoms. Not as bad but throat really sore after speaking and gets me down plus when I eat spicy foods and hits the back of my throat I lose my voice and feel pain again.

Any ideas on what can be causing this and how to prevent it from happening?
