It's called Laryngitis.
You went from Pharyngitis to Laryngitis
Or now you have inflammed your vocal cords
You are still sick.

You have a sore throat and a bit of a cold, believe it or not! Your vocal chords are situated just a bit lower down than you can see through a mirror (behind the adams apple area) and anything that gives you a sore throat therefore will mess with your voice.
Tuck yourself up in bed with some reading matter and warm drinks - give it a couple of days and things will improve.
And....don't worry!!

The phlem tells you that you are sick, if you still are not sure, take your temp. If you have a low grade fever, that will prove to you 100 % that you are sick. If the symptoms last more than 7 days g to a dr, it maybe more than a simple cold if it does not improve within 7 days

I actually have the same sympoms right now with lungs that seem to weigh 100 pounds. My doctor says it's just a cold.

You're sick... the "lots of phlegm" part is the clue.
It could be something as innocuous as allergies, or it could be something worse. You'd do well to see a doctor.
