It may happen after being taken off ventilator. Should subside in few days. If persists, consult an ENT specialist. If you feel breathless or noisy breathing, consider seeing a pulmonologist asap.

You need to see an ENT doctor. He will see inside your larynx( voice box) for any injury to vocal cord or adjacent structures. It will take several weeks for voice to return to normal.

Do not worry. That may be due to laryngeal edema due to intubation. It will subside gradually in 4-7days. Take symptomatic treatment if necessary.
