Introduction
There is no single best medication for nebulization to treat hoarseness, but antibiotics, corticosteroids, and expectorants can be used. Nebulization with gentamicine sulfate injection may be applied. For severe symptoms, dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection or budesonide suspension for inhalation can be used. In cases of thick and viscous sputum, chymotrypsin for injection or ambroxol hydrochloride for injection may be administered.

There is no single most effective medication for nebulization to treat hoarseness, but using antibiotics, corticosteroids, expectorants, and other drugs via nebulization usually achieves relatively good therapeutic results.

1. Antibiotics: Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use Gentamicine Sulfate Injection as a nebulizing agent, which exerts local anti-inflammatory effects. For patients who are particularly sensitive and experience symptoms such as tinnitus or ear discomfort after using Gentamicine Sulfate Injection, alternative antibiotics for nebulization can be considered, including Lincomycin Hydrochloride Injection and Penicillin powder for injection.

2. Corticosteroids: In cases of more severe symptoms, nebulization with corticosteroid medications is recommended under medical supervision. Commonly used drugs include Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection and Budesonide Suspension for Inhalation, which help rapidly relieve symptoms.

3. Expectorants: Patients experiencing hoarseness accompanied by thick mucus can, under medical guidance, use expectorant medications for nebulization. Common options include Chymotrypsin for Injection and Ambroxol Hydrochloride for Injection, which help expel mucus from the throat and alleviate discomfort.
