Voice problem after cold infection
My voice is choked since 2 weeks after I had undergone a throat infection. Initially there used to be pain in throat and difficulty in swallowing but now there is no pain and discomfort.I am really worried for my normal voice as I need to speak much as a teacher.

Post acute laryngopharyngitis you need to give adequate voice rest for your voice to come back to normal. No matter how much treatment you take, if you don't give adequate rest ,the problem won't settle for a long time.
