<human>: I have had a hollow cough, as well as a cough consisting of mucous. I am getting over a cold that has triggered my asthma. My Dr. prescribed an antibiotic. Through this I have lost my regular voice. It is now deep and husky cracking high pitches ocassionally. I try not to talk but whisper. I am concerned I will never regain my true voice. I am a singer, and take my vocal chords serious. What can I do to recover my loss. I also have asthma and heartburn. I just want my voice back. Can you help?
