I have a dry cough, somewhat of a sore throat and i've lost my voice. it's been 4 days now since i lost my voice. should i go see a doctor?

Viral infection: The combination of sore throat, hoarseness, and dry cough are almost always due to a viral infection and antibiotics are not effective for these infections. If symptoms persist a throat and chest exam along with a throat culture would be advisable.
