Be. Certain you are not taking an ACE for BP. Can cause cough.

The combination of hoarseness & dry cough is suspicious of a viral upper respiratory tract infection involving your vocal cords& trachea. A preceding sore throat often occurs. For now I'd sit tight,gargle with warm salt water & take a cough suppressant syrup like robitussinDM if the hacking cough is problematic. Notify your MD if you develop fever,chills,worsening cough, discolored phelgm,wheezing
