Dear Alisar, Welcome
It seems you have got pharyngitis or laryngitis following a URTI. Loss of voice with cough is usually a sign of laryngitis & may be due to vocal abuse. Most important is to see an ENT specialist, who will see your throat & prescribe medicines. Also, voice rest, steam inhalation & nebulization would help you.

Dear,
Three things will give you some relief
1. Vocal rest-- speak as little as possible
2. Take steam inhalation- for 10-15 min. 3-4 times a day
3. Take a mild cough syrup- like Honitus or benadryl 1 tsf 3 times a day. please note that benadryl may cause sleepiness. Or take Honitus in daytime & Benadryl 1 tsf at bedtime.
Meanwhile as you get time, see an ENT specialist.
