Hi,

Understanding your concern. Persistent productive cough and voice loss is because of laryngitis due to lower respiratory tract infection and it could be due to granular pharyngitis. Need not to worry about it. Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined.These symptoms normally takes 3 days for to go. If cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics.

Take proper rest without any discomfort. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Do warm saline gargles. Take water after every few mins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
