Brief Answer: management detailed below Detailed Answer: hello!! it is highly unlikely that your troubles have started due to cold water and it must be due to a throat infection , and you will need antibiotics for the same please continue your gargles and add steam inhalation 2-3 times a day , also avoid tea coffee and spicy food and try to speak as minimum as possible. normally i would prescribe tab azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 3 days for my patients and also give them tab cetrizine 10 mg night to take care of the cold. you can also gargle with chlorhexidine mouth wash 2-3 times a day. please meet your doctor for the prescription! the voice will take 7-10 days to become normal , please take rest ans lots of fluids. take care!
