Your symptoms suggest a mild viral infection, commonly causing laryngitis (voice loss) and throat irritation. To help you feel better, you can try these generic medicines: 1. Dextromethorphan: A cough suppressant to quiet your dry cough. 2. Paracetamol or Ibuprofen: To relieve throat soreness and any mild aches. 3. Anaesthetic Lozenges: Containing lidocaine or benzocaine to numb throat pain. The most important treatment is strict voice rest (avoid whispering, as it strains vocal cords) and staying well-hydrated with warm fluids. If symptoms persist beyond two weeks or if you experience difficulty breathing, please consult a doctor.
