Loosing my voice.....but I have a trade day on Monday!!?

[Pinkpassionfruit]

I have had a cough for most of this week and a sore throat but not enough to run off the doctors. I have an active 2.5 yr old sonot talking is NOT an option!! Any Ideas as my voice is getting worse each day and as I have a Jewellery sales night on Monday which I am selling at....... what can I do to get it back by then???

Thanks

Try your hardest to rest your voice. Time is the best medicine.
Gargling salt water can also prove helpful. As will sucking on losenges.

I know how you feel.....I had been suffering the same symptoms for 10 days, taking paracetomol and cough medicine but in the end, had to resort to a visit to the doctors only to be told I had a chest virus. Had to have a course of antibiotics and co-codomol.
After 10 days, my croaky voice has practically returned, the cough has gone and I'm feeling much better.
Sounds like you need to do the same....visit to your GP !
Hope you get better soon !

If you're in the uk, you can get pastilles called Vocalzone from a pharmacy, they taste disgusting but get your voice back! Good luck!!
