Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Voice And Swelling In Throat

I swallowed a chip it felt like it cut my throat the whole way down. While happening I had a sharp pain going to my ear. Felt almost worse than the chip cutting my throat. The next day I lost my voice but today voice is worse. I got choked on my breakfast this morning it just feels swollen no room to go down. Pain is better today but voice is completely gone. Could I have damaged my vocal cords or something really bad. Should I go to doctor or will it heal on its own.
