Should I see a GP for 5-week hoarseness, throat irritation, and slight cough?
I've experienced hoarseness and throat irritation persisting for over 5 weeks now. Overall, my well-being has been stable, though it fluctuates day by day. Recently, I've developed a slight cough, but apart from that, I haven't experienced any other typical cold symptoms. Should I book an appointment with a general practitioner or someone else?

Given the duration and persistence of your symptoms, it's prudent to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician. They can assess your condition, provide appropriate treatment or referrals, and ensure you receive the necessary care to address your hoarseness and throat irritation. Don't hesitate to seek medical attention, as early intervention can help identify and manage any underlying issues.
