HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Congrats on stopping smoking, that can be difficult to do but definitely worth it.
Your voice will return. You need to rest it as much as possible, when speaking speak softly, don't whisper. Whispering actually puts a strain on the voice.
The use of a humidifier may help as well along with using fluids and , in some cases, honey.
If you have post nasal drip of mucus then a cough suppressant would be helpful as well.
I hope this helps
