Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, also known as Common Cold and the symptoms of sore throat, body aches and hoarse voice that is due to inflammation of vocal cords known as Laryngitis are all due to cold..

The infection will however resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body..

As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:
1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..
2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..
3. Do steam inhalations..
4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
5. Sip on warm water throughout the day..
5. Do not speak aloud to prevent further straining of the vocal cords..

The symptoms will generally resolve in a week and in case if it worsen consult a ENT expert and get evaluated..
Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
