Hi there, I am sorry for the bad cold you went through. If you are having husky voice with tight chest, and titchy throat, I advise to get your mouth and throat examined by your doctor to rule out bacterial infection. You might be experiencing laryngitis which is often associated with cold. Usually, it will subside on its own. However, should rule out bacterial infection before starting antibiotics. Meanwhile, I advise to: - take a good oral hygiene - apply anti-septic oral spray (you may find them as over the counter) - I usually advise my patients to gargle with water and salt and to - use 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of honey on daily basis (especially early in the morning) - consume more fluids (water, juices, soups, etc.) Wish fast recovery!
