Hello, thanks for using HCM.
From the symptoms you listed, it is most likely that you are suffering for an upper respiratory tract infection. cough and mucus production are indications of an irritation of the respiratory tract which in some cases are due to an infection. Change in voice is an indication that your larynx have been implicated . Acetaphenome (paracetamol?) and ibuprofen are just pain killers and would help you just to relieve pain rather than treat the underlying problem. You should see your doctor for a better evaluation and possible prescription of some antibiotics.
