I completely lost my voice, cant talk louder than a whisper, and have a dry cough, what is this? what can i do to get my voice back?

Likely viral: Voice loss accompanied by cough likely due to viral illness causing inflammation of the vocal cords. Aka laryngitis. Keep hydrated and rest voice as it will return.
