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?

When tissues around your vocal chords swell, the chords stretch to the point at which they no longer vibrate. Trying to force sound only disturbs the inflamed tissue, which makes your throat feel worse.
