Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
By your symptoms you are most likely suffering from laryngeal inflammation associated with upper respiratory tract infection which is causing you hoarseness of voice along with cough and sputum.
And discomfort in left shoulder area may be due to cough causing muscle pain.
So, please visit your doctor for examination and possible antibiotic prescription.
Mean while you can take anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory drugs with salt water gargling, steam inhalation, plenty of fluids and rest to your voice for relief.
