Do i need to see a doctor, or can i continue treating a home? on last wednesday, i awakened with a splitting headache that eventually went away. that evening i started losing my voice. on thursday, my voice was to a whisper. my voice has gotten better

Any : Any fevers? This may be a viral syndrome. I would also worry about the flu--sore throat, headaches, cough, body aches. Usually this should be self limiting and go away after 7-10 days. If symptoms worsen, breathing is difficult, fevers get high, then you need to see a doctor. You should be able to treat much of the aches and fever with Acetaminophen (tylenol) or Ibuprofen (advil/motrin). Again, if these do not help and the fevers and aches get worse and not better, go to a doctor.
