A similar thing happened to me.
I returned home to Islay with a throat infection after visiting my father in Dundee and attending a Dundee home game at Dens.
I suggested to my GP that I might have got my throat infection at Dens Park as a result of shouting and cheering when we scored a goal.
He suggested that in future I should not shout so much at the football.
Later the problem was solved. Neil McCann was appointed manager of Dundee FC and his style of play was so boring that there was nothing to shout about and I was no longer hoarse at the end of the game.
Good to know you've been getting your money's worth from the NHS. I once had a terrible cough in wintertime which I couldn't shake. When I stopped drinking treble vodkas and inhaling secondary smoke in the pub every night, it cleared up within a few days. I hope you feel enriched by my story as much as I do yours. Since smoking was banned in pubs and I cut back to just double vodkas, I haven't had a recurrence.
