Hi,

First of all, the basic of treatment is VOICE REST, meaning to speaking and taking, forget about teaching and using mike
- Consult your doctor for preliminary evaluation and get started on proper antibiotic, decongestant and anti-inflammatory medicines
- Steam inhalation with plain water
- Further investigation needed may be tests of blood for CBC, sugar and so on
- X-ray the chest
- Any other investigations as would be advised
- Second opinion of an ENT surgeon for laryngoscopy to see for larynx, vocal cords and see for the cause
- You may be added on oral steroids if you are not diabetic

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
