The fatigue and sore throat are familiar to every person. Autumn is approaching, and cold winds and drafts come with it, and now it tickles in the throat and the voice disappears. Why such symptoms occur and how to deal with them, we will find out today. The reasons for this phenomenon can be a lot, and often under the same symptoms a variety of diseases are hiding. Moreover, each person has the same ailment also in his own way. Therefore, self-medication is not worth it. Only a professional will be able to assess the symptoms and make the correct diagnosis, and then prescribe adequate treatment. Therefore, the article should be considered as exclusively informational. 
Physiology
What is our throat? This is the pharynx and larynx. They can be affected by viruses and bacteria. Moreover, strong immunity will not allow the development of infection, and even if everyone near you coughs and sneezes, there will be no harm from this. But if the body is weakened, its internal reserves are not enough for an effective fight. What happens in this case? Bacteria and viruses, without encountering resistance, begin to multiply, reach a critical mass, and a person feels the first symptoms of the disease. The throat hurts, the voice disappears, the temperature may rise, the general health worsens. The set of symptoms may vary depending on the causes that cause them.
If the body is infected with a virus
It is not always easy for an experienced doctor to understand the reasons for what is happening to you. So, viruses can be causative agents of a pain syndrome. When the throat hurts, the voice disappears and you want to sleep constantly, this clearly indicates the presence of infection in the body. Additionally, a cough and other symptoms may join. In addition, a person may complain of a lack of appetite and general weakness.
When the throat hurts and the voice disappears, we tend to write off what is happening on the activity of the virus. This may be the flu and SARS, chickenpox and a number of other diseases. This is not excluded, but there may be another reason. 
Bacterial infections
They also often cause diseases of the ENT organs. Moreover, if the throat hurts and the voice disappears, then it is entirely possible that the body was initially affected by the virus, and then a bacterial complication joined it. The most famous of all existing is streptococcal infection. Under its influence, breathing through the nose is disturbed, and a person begins to inhale through the mouth. This is especially true for the night. And since the air can be dry, cold, contain dust or other irritating particles, the mucous membrane dries, gets irritated, and partial or complete dumbness develops.
Laryngitis
So doctors call inflammation of the larynx. It is such an entry in the card that will be most often if a voice is lost and a sore throat. How to treat, only an experienced doctor will tell you. The throat can tickle or sore, I want to constantly cough. The voice wheezes or completely disappears. The most common cause is ARI. Also, laryngitis can accompany bronchitis or pneumonia and a number of ailments. Therefore, it is quite difficult to make a diagnosis on your own.
Treatment is most often symptomatic. It is aimed at supporting and strengthening the immune system, the prevention of bacterial complications. Therefore, drugs based on echinacea, as well as local sprays and solutions for irrigation of the throat, reduce swelling and pain symptoms are often prescribed. 
The course for rehabilitation
To hoarseness, sore throat and cough are soon gone, you need to listen to the doctor and rest. Work will not run away, and in a few days the company will not close. Bed rest, compulsory daytime sleep and a dairy and vegetable diet are the key to a quick recovery. A heavy alkaline drink is needed. Borjomi mineral water is best suited for this, but without gas.
Be sure to gargle with antiseptic solutions. It can be ordinary "Furacilin" or "Givaleks". A good result is given by various sprays. They have a fairly pronounced anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effect. As antihistamines, doctors prescribe "Loratadin", "Cetrin", "Erius". Auxiliary can be considered folk remedies.
- Borjomi in half with milk, with a spoonful of honey perfectly removes hoarseness.
- Egg yolk, mashed with sugar and butter, softens the throat.
- Infusion of elderberry, linden and chamomile flowers, taken in equal proportions (for a tablespoon of raw materials per glass of water), relieves inflammation.
- Inhalation.
Pharyngitis
This is another diagnosis that a doctor often makes when a sore throat and voice are gone. How to restore the work of the ligaments, we will talk a little lower, but for now let's see how this disease differs. Pharyngitis is an inflammatory process that affects mostly the back of the throat. It can be caused by a viral infection (ARI, flu) or streptococcus. Sore throat and swallowing are symptoms that are characteristic of pharyngitis. In this case, white plaque can often be seen on the mucosa.
In this case, the patient also comes with classic complaints, his voice is gone and his throat is sore. Symptomatic treatment is prescribed, depending on the severity of the patient's condition and the general condition of the body. If the cause is a bacterial disease, then often we observe an increase in temperature. In an advanced case, chronic pharyngitis may develop.
Angina
One cause of sore throat can be tonsillitis. Everyone certainly experienced this in childhood. If your throat hurts, your voice disappears, and your cough is painful and painful, then ask someone to examine your throat. Red, swollen balls of tonsils are visible to the naked eye, and it is very difficult to mix them up with something. In addition to sore throats, angina is characterized by a strong increase in temperature, up to 41 degrees. Unpleasant sensations are very strong, while the patient experiences pain in the ears - this is another symptom that is closely associated with angina. This flows smoothly from our physiology. The same nerves pass through the throat and ears, which are responsible for the sensation of pain. Therefore, so often with acute respiratory infections, the whole body hurts. 
Relief
So what to do if a voice is lost and a sore throat? How to treat a patient?
- First of all, you need to ensure him complete peace. Even whispering can now greatly aggravate the condition, so complete silence is what you need.
- Sparing nutrition is another important point. You can not drink carbonated drinks, alcohol, too cold or hot.
- Refuse acute, you can completely stop adding seasonings to food, including salt. Completely exclude seeds, chips and crackers, as well as chocolate.
- Now you need to monitor the temperature regime. It is unacceptable to overheat and supercool.
First aid
It is not always possible to see a doctor on the same day when the symptoms that bother you appear. And if the throat ached all day at work, then the voice disappeared. How to treat it at home in the evening? There are a number of measures that will help alleviate the condition and, at least, hold out before a visit to the doctor. Try to be silent for several hours, but rather go to bed early. Various cough lozenges and lozenges help to soften the throat and reduce pain. And do not forget to drink plenty of fluids. Now the best option would be a weak warm tea.
Our grandmothers also knew a proven recipe that helps a lot. This is warm milk with butter. It can be drunk at night and during the day. As an ambulance, rinsing with salt water is ideal, but too often it is impossible to resort to such a remedy, since you can achieve the opposite effect due to irritation of the mucous membrane. Therefore, in the morning we make a saline solution (1 teaspoon per glass of water), and then we fix the effect with the help of herbal preparations, for example, "Breast".
If additional symptoms join, a sore throat intensifies or persists for several days, and streaks of blood appear in saliva and sputum, you should immediately see a doctor. You should not continue self-medication or prescribe antibiotics for yourself. If the infection is caused by a virus, then they are not only useless, but also cause an additional blow to the immune system. 
Folk remedies
If you feel severe swelling of the throat and discomfort, then doctors recommend taking antihistamines. This will help alleviate the condition. But often it is necessary to take more radical measures when a sore throat, voice and temperature have disappeared. What to treat the patient, prompt recipes of alternative medicine:
- First of all, it's honey. Dilute a tablespoon with water and add lemon juice. Taking this remedy, after a couple of hours you will feel relief.
- Herbs with anti-inflammatory effects are another effective remedy. You can brew licorice grass and chamomile, calendula and linden color.
- To cure a sore throat, you can make a solution of apple cider vinegar. This will require only 1 teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water. Gargle every hour.
- Potato juice also has an effective anti-inflammatory effect. You only need to take a raw vegetable, grate and squeeze the juice. Rinse 3-4 times a day after meals. Pour the residue immediately or use it to make starch.
If a child is sick
In this case, self-medication is even less desirable. When a child has a lost voice and a sore throat, steam inhalation with the addition of eucalyptus oil and chamomile infusion will be the best way. Warm compresses help relieve malaise, so a soft scarf is not just a grandmother’s quirk, but real help. Vitamin C helps to strengthen the immune system, which is extremely important to increase the body's resistance to microbes. And of course, you need to observe bed rest. If the condition is stable and there is no temperature, you can carry out inhalation with steam. Very effective procedures based on an aqueous solution of soda, honey, eucalyptus oils and sea buckthorn. This is the most effective treatment for acute laryngitis.
The main treatment should be prescribed by a pediatrician, and it is desirable that a diagnosis be made first. Analysis of blood and urine, sowing from the throat - all this will give much more information about what is happening in the body, and will allow you to prescribe an effective treatment.
If there are no symptoms of the disease
There are times when a patient consults a doctor with the following question: why did his voice go missing and his throat does not hurt? Benign neoplasms cannot be ruled out. These are polyps and various other formations. In addition, with a detailed diagnosis, malignant tumors can also be detected. The laryngeal air cyst can generally cause partial or complete paralysis of the vocal cords. In this case, the pain may join in later stages. It is undesirable to delay examination and treatment, since any tumor is removed without consequences only until a certain period of development.
Stress or overstrain of the vocal apparatus
And we continue to consider various cases when the voice disappears, but the throat does not hurt. The causes of this condition may lie in the banal overstrain of the ligaments. Doctors call this disease aphonia. How to quickly alleviate the condition? For a person whose work is connected with direct interaction with people, this is a real tragedy.
However, now you just need to calm down. Since the causes may be nervous and mental disorders, taking sedatives may help. In urgent cases, when you can’t keep quiet, you can use the following recipes:
- On a small fire, heat 50 ml of brandy, add a teaspoon of honey and 4 drops of lemon juice into it. Such a drug can return the voice in just a few minutes. Of course, the effect will be temporary, but as an emergency remedy it is quite suitable.
- And if at the crucial moment, before the performance, a sore throat and a voice disappear? What to do? Try mixing egg white and sugar. Add to this 3 ml of cognac and mix.
- Carrot milk is another effective remedy. To do this, you need to take 350 ml of milk and boil three root vegetables in it. You should gargle this broth throat three times a day. The product can be swallowed.
- The juice of cabbage and beets also helps a lot. Use fresh 1-2 times a day.
If you need to speak in the morning
Each of us is familiar with a state where to miss work is tantamount to death and we must not allow our throats to ache and lose our voice. How to quickly restore the work of the vocal cords when you feel that you are starting to wheeze? There is a proven tool. To do this, take a warm bath in the evening (if there is no temperature). After that, mustard plasters are placed on the lower legs and under the knees and fixed with elastic bandages. Put on warm socks made of natural wool, and pour mustard powder inside. Preferably a warm bathrobe or pajamas - and under the covers. The next morning you can quite normally speak. Additionally, perform a smooth larynx massage. Movement should go from top to bottom.
Instead of a conclusion
The causes of sore throat can be very many, respectively, the same can be said about the treatment methods. But all of them are united by one thing: before the start of the course, you need to see a doctor. Even if the cough is small, and the sore throat can be endured. Even if you feel you are quite tolerable and can fulfill your duties at work. Remember that a running disease easily passes into a chronicle, which is very difficult to deal with. Just imagine that a sip of a little cool water and a portion of ice cream will cause a sore throat. It’s better not to bring this up.
In order for the treatment to be as successful as possible, you need to provide the patient with peace and necessary medical procedures. Then in 2-3 days you will feel significant relief, and after the next visit to the doctor you can return to normal life. The treatment of sore throat is usually complex, since a number of tasks are required to be performed immediately. Namely, to maintain immunity, to provide protection against secondary bacterial complications, to conduct a series of manipulations designed to alleviate the condition at the local level. Together, this provides a quick and one hundred percent recovery.
