    Default losing my voice...need to get better asap!

    My voice felt a little hoarse yesterday, but not that bad-- today I felt OK, but when I was working today I could feel a cough coming on. Anyway about 3 hours into my shift it totally disappeared and I sound hoarse as fuck, it's terrible. I'm not coughing or anything, just a little flem in my throat that isn't even enough to cough up, so I don't understand what happened.

    I had a wicked cold/cough when I first got to England and even though I pumped myself with vitamins/cold pills/cough syrup it refused to go away. I went on a vacay with my friend who's a doctor and he looked me over and said it was just my body getting used to the new germs and he would't prescribe me anything but if it wasn't gone in a few weeks to go to a GP, but it was gone by then.

    Anyway... I'd love to not sound like shit when I work the weekend, any quick fixes for a horse voice?

    Three cups of chamomile tea with honey and lemon slices in it for a whole week. It helps me when I lose my voice

    Hot Lemonaide with plenty of sugar or honey. Auctioneers will actually peel one end of a lemon and cut a hole in it to suck the juice out between calls when working. The citrus cuts the mucus that builds up on your irritated vocal cords.

    We've been hosting exchange students this year in our home, and a cold approx 2 weeks after the move os comon. Each and every one of the 5 students we have hosted this year caught a cold 2 weeks in.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. It's just gotten worse because I'm so tired and going to work everyday, I'm hoping I can fight it off in the next couple days. So annoyed how much time I've spent sick the last couple months...

    I'm basically better, it turned into more of a terrible cough than me losing my voice after a couple days.. aroused LOTS of suspicion with my flatmates wondering why I keep going out every night when I'm coughing all the time! But I barely coughed yesterday so I think it's pretty much gone, it took over 3 weeks for me to get over the cold last time so I'm glad it was only a couple weeks this time!

    Ew I have that phlegmy cough right now and it's not cute.. but a really good thing to drink is green tea with honey, lemon, ginger, and cayenne pepper. It tastes like shit but if you sip it while it's hot it'll definitely help the raspiness and phlegm go away.


    Edit: oops I just read the last post and I guess you're better now lol but for I guess for the future that tea is a good thing to drink!
