Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

You are having acute Laryngitis condition in which along with congestion voice also get affected. You can complete the course of prescribed steroid medication. The steroid help in relieving inflammation and so you will improve. Steam inhalation and warm water gargle also beneficial. If no improvement then CBC should be done and indirect laryngoscopy examination advisable.

Hope I have answered your question.
