I've lost my voice, and I was wondering if anybody knew any useful remedies to help me to a speedy recovery, as I'm supposed to be singing in a carol concert on Sunday and in the coming week. I've heard honey and lemon is good for throats, and obviously not trying to strain my voice any more. Any additional ideas?
Daisy answered Friday December 10 2004, 4:30 pm: The fast and quickest way to overcome this is not to talk but if you need to then whisper. Drink loads of warm drinks and lozengers and apart from that , that's all you can do. It might be an idea not to sing in the concert on Sunday so you can get your voice back and can sing in it next week instead when your throat has healed more.....

If possible go on complete vocal rest, dont talk unless you absoutely have to and when u do talk, speak quietly. [ xplisit15's advice column | Ask xplisit15 A Question ]

Avoid from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.) Milky products cause this film in your throat that give it a "flemmy" sound when you sing. I find that sucking on a piece of ice works alot too and very cold drinks. Caugh drops work good too. Hope you feel better! Hope this helped.
