Guest Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have no voice, can only whisper. I don't have a sore throat but did a couple of days ago but only lasted a day. Started going croaky last night and today very difficult to get a sound out unless I whisper. Anyone got any good tips for getting it back? Good thing I'm on half term at the moment but ever so annoying. ppp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have had this exact same thing for over a week - including during our Ofsted visit! It is starting to get better now - its fine until I raise my voice or try to sing. I think its just a matter of time and trying to rest it. Hope you feel better soon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 For a sore throat I always gargle with dissolvable aspirin. I don't swallow though! Hope you get better soon! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi ppp Sorry to hear that you are suffering........honey and lemon in hot water can be really soothing.......if it goes on for too long perhaps you should see your GP. Hope you get better soon! Sunnyday P.S. - I suspect my family would be thrilled if I lost my voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upsy Daisy Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 HAve a look at the advice here (it includes Maz's aspirin gargle) http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Laryngitis.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Must be doing the rounds as Ive also had a nasty dose of laryngitis. Rest, warm drinks, lemon and honey, thats pretty much it really. Hope you're feeling better soon. This does highlight the point that most of us never had voice training.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm in the same position too and only can reinforce lots of rest, liquids - orange squash is very good and apparently better than plain water (there was a study out earlier this year saying it was better than water). There is a video on teachers TV about looking after your voice and has some good tips - also voice care network has some tips too but when I last looked on their website they were doing it up. Hope it gets better soon, L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat1279 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Vocalzone throat pastilles are really good as well as the previously mentioned honey and lemon and gargling with aspirin. They come in a red packet and are in most chemists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
