Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of viral infection in throat with speech problems which is leading to upper respiratory tract infection and through there it is travelling down and leading to laryngitis and causing speech problems. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozanges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink luke warm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
