Hi,

I understand your concern.

Hoarseness in your voice could be due to an acute irritation of the larynx and trachea and vocal cords. It could be due to acute viral infection, or irritation of acidic liquid of stomach when you had the episodes of vomiting.

It is better to get checked by ENT specialist to determine the right diagnosis.
Keep good oral and throat hygiene. Gargle with warm water and salt.

Take antihistamine orally until you see ENT specialist.

Wish fast recovery.
