Hello
The combination of throat irritation, cough AND voice getting affected after food (as also early morning) raises the possibility of reflux - stomach contents back-flowing to food pipe and beyond...
You have to see your physician for proper evaluation - if it is long (you didn't say how long!), you may need an X-ray, blood count and/or upper GI endoscopy (tube to see your food pipe and stomach)
Good luck
