How To Treat Raspy Voice And Severe Phlegm Following A Sinus Infection?

Hello I ve had a cold/sinus infection for a few days ive been taking dayquil but tonight I took musinex dm. Ever since then my voice is so raspy! Its annoying me beyond belief. Im only 17 and they cut my health insurance for some unknown reason. So I cant really go to the dr. But I just wanted to know if there were anyways to help treat my voice? Its nerve racking. Im coughing up a lot of mucus too. But its all clear. I just wanted to see what you may recommend? Thank you for your time!

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having raspy voice following a sinus infection. This indicates acute laryngitis secondary to sinus infection. This can be treated by antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Salt water gargling and voice rest will provide symptomtic relief and the condition will improve in 4-7 days and voice will become normal.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Wishing you a good health and speedy recovery.
