ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

You have an upper respiratory infection mainly affecting the throat and the voccal cords ( Pharyngolaryngitis).
If the sputum is dark yellow, it is likely to be bacterial and you require to take an antibiotic.
In addition you should also rest your voice. Steam inhalation can help loosen the phlegm so that you can bring it out easily.
I am prepared to answer more queries if you have any.
Hope you get well soon.
