Yes,
Chronic hoarseness can be a symptom of LPR. Constant throat clearing is another major indicator of LPR.
Another 2 big symtpoms of LPR is chronic cough and feeling of "lump" in the throat/difficulty swallowing. However, most LPR patients have 1 or 2 of these 4 symptoms. It seems pretty rare to get all 4.
If your problem doesn't go away in another, say, 3 weeks, on its own, then you can try 2 doses of a PPI a day, which is standard treatment for LPR.
You could try it now, but I'm wondering if it's too early at just 3 weeks.
