If you say you have a frog in your throat it means that your voice sounds rough or croaky, often because your throat is dry or irritated. You might need to cough to clear your throat.
This expression has been used since the 1800s as a humorous way to describe the strange, croaking sound a person's voice can make when their voice is not working properly.

I had a frog in my throat during the whole presentation this morning.
