Can Yelling Cause Loss Of Voice?

Hi! So I lost my voice after going to an exciting football game, where I did scream & yell, loudly and sometimes long. The game was on Saturday, voice was still there, but raspy. On Sunday, my voice was completely gone. Monday, I was able to whisper but now had a slight cough to accompany it. Tuesday, voice is still at a whisper, hurts to talk, now have a painful chest cough with mucus. What's wrong with me? I've been drinking fluids but nothing seems to help.
