I had a coughing fit (choking on my own saliva, which seems to happen rather frequently), and now I seem to have lost my voice. Did the coughing do something to my vocal cords?

It is called straining a vocal cord. You pulled one or both cords too hard, and now it is inflamed and swollen. It is rather like what happens to your tendons and the joint when sprain your ankle.
It should heal soon. If it lasts for more than a day I would recommend seeing a doctor.
