Hello Ruth wright,
You probably have viral infection and which has lead to voice loss.
You need to consult your doctor for
Examination -Flexible laryngoscopy
If there is any problem with movement of vocal cords then need to start oral steroid medication .
Take care of reflux/acidity/heart burn.
You need to continue antibiotics
In doubt do reply.
