I have been sick for over a month and still don’t have my voice back. Been on a pharmacy of drugs, too.
I was sick like that beginning in June. When I finally started feeling better around the 3rd week, I completely lost my voice for a week and it took another 2-3 weeks for it to go back to normal. Very weird stuff.
Enterovirus is a hand foot and mouth disease.

“The virus spreads easily through coughing and sneezing. It can also spread through infected stool, such as when you change a diaper or when a young child gets stool on his or her hands and then touches objects that other children put in their mouths. Often the disease breaks out within a community.”
Here’s the zinger - “the virus can stay in the stool for several months and may spread to others”
I had the same thing - never had a cold like that before. Had to get antibiotics for pharyngitis, and prednisone. I was still coughing for weeks.
