I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Your symptoms suggestive of acute Laryngitis condition in which voice get affected. You can be prescribed short term Betamethasone steroid course or anti-histaminic drug like Levocetrizine for 5 days. Salt water gargle with warm water done three times a day. Diluted Betadine gargle also can be done. Take vitamin C for 5 days. Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily. I suggest you to consult otorhinolaryngologist for indirect laryngoscopy examination and get prescription as described.
