Obviously no-one of us can see your throat nor hear your voice, but, if the problem does NOT go away after a COMPLETE silence (NO singing, whispering, shouting nor yelling and as little speaking aloud as possible!) of, say, 1-2 weeks, then you need to be seen by an ear-nose-throat specialist in order to rule out vocal nodules. Jumping the gun too soon after a cold is NEVER a good idea, so your body NEED time to heal anyway.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
