Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough and hoarseness in voice which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection and travel of inefction down into larynx leading to laryngitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENTspecialist once without any delay for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may order blood test for infection and throat swab test. Doctor may prescribe proper course of antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agent. Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food. Avoid cold beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
