Hoarseness

It's almost 2 weeks since I suffered from coughing, cold and flu. I have been to the doctors and as I suspected he prescribed antibiotics and cough mixture though I told him that I suffer from reflux. Staying in PD in my apartment gave me the opportunity to rest but the coughing is still there. On top of that I almost lost my voice and now it's hoarse and I strain my vocal cord when I want to talk. So most time here, I stay alone indoor and not talking to anybody.
I googled about loss of voice and hoarseness which is mostly caused by acid reflux. My coughing and hoarseness became prominent when I lie down to sleep at night. This is due to the acid from my stomach which spills into the tube to the throat (esophagus) and tickles my vocal cord, resulting in on-going coughing and difficulty to sleep. My stomach bloats and I suffer from constipation.
I am glad that I cancelled my talk and presentation to give my vocal cord a good rest even though it takes quite a while to recover. Without clear voice I find it difficult to talk and didn't call Rania on the phone. I missed her tremendously. Misusing voice or over-strained it can cause loss of voice or hoarseness for long term or worse, it leads to vocal cyst or vocal hemorrhage. So It's important to pay attention to this. Careers using voice as their main tool such as singers, teachers/lecturers, DJs etc can be at risk. Some may not recover from hoarseness at all. I don't want this to happen to me.
Reflux is like heartburn, indigestion or better known as GERD. At critical level, it is a major cause for esophageal cancer. Suffering from this disease leads to chronic coughing, difficulty in swallowing, wheezing, choking and hoarseness. Best remedy for hoarseness is by not talking or just whisper, rest and drink a lot of water. I am doing just that.
I am looking at home remedies for reflux. I am going to try to mix 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water and drink it twice daily. See whether it works. I pray it works and frees me from this bother. Another home remedy I read is to mix 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 1/2 glass of water and drink once a day.

Please go away reflux and restore my voice.
