How to get your voice back

Generally voice rest is the best, and the warm soothing drinks help. Usually it's temporary very short term, but if it's allergies then potentially it could last all season. If you don't get your voice back after resting it fairly quickly go back to the doctor - if need be get a referral to an ENT Doc who will actually look at your vocal chords. I lost my voice for 6 months once. I had GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease) so bad that I ulcers on my vocal chords. I didn't have any heartburn because of the medication I was taking but the damage was still being done. After 6 months of conservative treatment to try and heal the ulcers I ended up having to have surgery to get my voice back. Bottom line is if goes on very long pester the docs until they tell you why for certain and not just give you a "probably" diagnosis.

Ok, maybe try this, try lemon and green tea. That is fresh squeezed lemon. Try drinking plenty of fluids, too. But when you have tried everything else...try prayer. Believe me, talk to the sickness and say 'In the name of Jesus I command you to leave! I command that you be relieved of your ailment and that God is healing you, right now, in the name of Jesus BE HEALED!' You would be surprised by the POWER you have in your words and thoughts. I am praying for you, too.

You just have to wait and let it heal itself. Drink lots of water, do not strain yourself. Once it comes back, do not talk as loud (or sing as high a range as you did -if you are a singer( and increase the loudness gradually. You have to have plenty of rest and make sure you wear a scarf to protect your throat. I got laryngitis after singing at the Christmas Concert a few years ago, and it took me a month to come back to normal.

Well if the doctor knows best. I believe your doctor can give you something to help or alleviate the problem. For the meantime you avoid cold water and sweet drinks. Perhaps you can also try some ginger since ginger is very good for the voice. Most importantly, you should rest well.

Rest it as much as possilbe, and avoid whispering that hurts it more than talking. Honey is very good for sore throats. Lemon and tea are also really good. I am a former professional singer and I wrote an article about how to protect your vocal cords, it might help you. You can skip through some of it bt you will find some good tims in there. Here is the article. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/962562/how_singers_can_protect_their_vocal.html?cat=10

Rest your voice only talking when you have to and drink plenty of warm tea to soothe your throat. Hope you feel better soon!

when you wake some water content in your mouth get clogged which will not allow you vocal chords to vibrate. Its not a serious issue at all. Use salt with hot water and gargle it inside your mouth for five to six times. Also be careful that you don't drink the water. Even honey with water could help you retain your voice. drink plenty of water to remove any clogging in your mouth before you sleep and make sure that are infected with any bacteria it could also be one of the reason.

I had this problem after having a cold my voice just went and it was awful.I kept getting phone calls from people and i could not talk so that was annoying as well as it hurt as well trying to talk on the phone to them.I could not even talk to the children or shout at them.I tried everything,i found that salt water did help alot.

honey with hot water might help,and try not to speak as much

I have had that problem before and when I ask my doctor she gave me medicine to take. Also she told me to run a vaporize in the winter and humidifer in the summer. She told me that sometimes the air is just to dry. It did help me so I usually have one of them running.

If your into herbal medicine its good to try ginger powder. In a one cup of hot(not boiling) water put 1-2 table spoon of powder and stir it. You may drink it once a day. It helps to make voice completely back to normal. But if you have a history of gallstone don't try it. It would increase bile production.Could cause harm.

I just had this happen to me a few weeks ago. I just rested my voice because if you try to talk, you can damage your vocal cords. Thats what I was told. I also drank hot tea with honey in it. Don't drink anything cold, and use honey to sooth your throat.

Hey sweetgirl_k1,i feel sorry for you,i can understand your situation.Sore throat usually occurs due to infection or may be as you said due to allergy.Firstly you start drinking hot water not hot cooled or warm water and say goodbye to cold water.You can also try drinking ginger coffee.I think drinking hot water for few days is enough in getting back your voice but if you want to go for medication then you can try strepsils.

In my age of 29 i got throat infeccion. i went to the docdor hi suggested me opraction.i get back my voice. at prestnt i am very happy with my voice.

I think the best thing to get your voice back is to rest yourself, which means not talking too much or yelling in order not to make things worse ... or at least that's what I did when my voice went on vacation ahah (I laughed so hard when you said your husband would enjoy your being voiceless right now eheh)

I have a supber option for this.. Just go to your enemy and tell something bad about him until he start to shout against you and kindly wait for your turn and when you get your turn just start scolding him with as mush as louder upto your voice limit just do this trick with 10enemies/day and if u have same problem after 3days just to doctor and shout he will do something favour for us..
