Cannot speak
Yesterday my voice was fading and I was coughing from time to time. Today I woke up coughing, but I couldn't speak at all and I still cannot do it. I feel no pain, it's just that I cannot speak and sometimes I cough,but rarely. I'm very worried about my voice. I have had tea and some medicine. Am I losing my voice permanently? What should I do?

You seem to be suffering from acute laryngitis which is a common type of vocal cord infection secondary to viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve with appropriate measures such as antibiotics, mucolytics, steam inhalation and voice rest
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
