The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.




Ooooh, this happened to me about a year ago. for an entire week I couldn't talk. I don't remember anything helping except I knew I drank a lot of hot tea.
Its a nice time to be reflective and even meditative. Some buddhists practice not speaking for days, weeks, or months.





This happens to me whenever I get a cold. The only thing helps is hot chamomile tea with honey and not talking. The chamomile will help bring down any inflammation going in your throat and the honey helps sooth things. Cough up as much phlegm as you can (if you have any), but anti-histamines might dry out your throat/vocal chords and make talking more difficult (at least this is what I've found from personal experience, my doctor recommended anti-histamines but they caused more trouble than they solved for me).
My dad says pot helps. But he says that about everything. A shot a brandy followed by a teaspoon of honey has done me well in the past.....not sure if that's medically relevant.
Not a whole lot you can do to rush your voice back (that I know of).
Feel better soon though!

This happenned to me years back and I hated it. Aside from going to the docs, which you say you'll do, I reccommend sage tea. It's really great for any infection in mouth/tonsils/throat since it's anti inflammatory. If you get bored of drinking it, you can also just gargle with it. Plus, eat honey, just don't add it into a too hot tea, if you want to get the best out of it, since honey loses a lot of its properties on temperatures above 40 celsius (104 F, I think).
Of course...not talking, too.
Get well soon!





I once lost my voice the day I was doing my first bachelor party on my own (meaning without an agency). On top of it I had a new bouncer starting that show so I was trying to explain what he needed to do and I explained it all to the guys. Luckily everyone was cool and it worked fine.
I know that I took medicine and drank tea with honey. Still, I lost it for over a week.
I am sick now .. my voice is off.. so I cannot talk properly.. Drinking tea with honey helps me. Adding mint to it is also good... anything that has a strong mint odor seems to help clear up the throat and nose. Dont talk at all... and try to keep yourself warm.. to a point where you cannot take it.. The infection goes away faster.
Putting a pot of water on the stove and just steaming your throat (and ears) loosen up the pain.. My ears are also in pain and that usually helps me. Garling warm water with salt is another option. Do it every 2 hours and keep yourself warm and out of cold air
Hot Chamomile tea with honey.

^ I know hydrocodone syrup is used in cough syrup, so the Vicodin might be for more than just pain relief (but if it's anything like my most recent ear infection pain you'll need the Vicodin for that too).
I'm glad you went to the doctor and got medicine. Feel better soon. I had almost exactly what you're describing now back in November. Ears still hurt from time to time.

^That might be the desired effect, plus I think Vicodin is considered an NSAID so it's meant to bring down inflammation in your ears. Also, a lot of people are really sensitive to tooth pain so I guess he just figured he'd cover all his bases. Pretty sweet either way.
