you are hoarse from vocal abuse, so antibiotics are not necessary
vocal rest -- do not speak unless you absolutely must, and then use as soft a voice as possible
inhale steam (plain or with herbs)
hot herbal tea with honey

You can try things like 'Thayers Two Trees Voice Lozenges' if available near you. There are often similar products on sale, usually containing slippery elm or liquorice... Ask your pharmacist. It's important you speak very little, if at all, and whispering can even make it worse. Inhaling a little steam (safely) may help too.

Boil some water, (glassfull), add to it a spoon of turmeric powder and stir. Gargle with this 3-4 times a day and you will be fine. Do not take mentholated sweets.

Gargle with warm salt water and avoid talking. Give your vocal cords a chance to get better. Also....no singing. That is really hard on vocal cords.

Herbs can help. Amoxiciillin. Sore throat medicine.
