Hi,
What you are describing is voice or vocal fatigue. This is seen in people who speak continuously for long time (teachers etc) or speak in a noisy environment daily. In this the vocal cords get tired resulting is hoarsy voice and scratchy throat. Treatment is to try to take breaks in between long talking sessions.
