Last week I fell ill with a chest cold. Nothing too bad, I just felt like I had a bad cold and I left work early one day.


Now my voice is gone!!!!! This is the second day of silence.


I feel like I'm 14 years old again, my voice squeaks whenever I speak. (Gentlemen do you remember this from your childhood?)




What's the best way to get my voice back??


50 Points for the most imaginative answer.

Replying to [Rizzob]:

Ask your wife to pay a visit to her parental house.

Replying to [Rizzob]:It will return eventually. Do salt water gargles for the moment however, rest, and try not to talk. The problem is self limiting and will not do any long term harm

Reply to [Rizzob]: I think as Mehmood written above do the salt gargles. Eat antibiotic. Drink hot water. Ask some one to give massage on your throat.

Hope soon you will get your voice back..

WHAT IS ENTERTAINER'S SECRET THROAT RELIEF?
Entertainer's Secret Throat Relief is a spray formulated to resemble natural mucosal secretions and designed to moisturize, humidify and lubricate the mucous membranes of the throat and larynx. The ingredients are: water, glycerin, sodium carboxylmethylcellulose, aloe vera gel, methylparaben, propylparaben, potassium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate and flavor.

WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
Entertainer's Secret is formulated to resemble natural secretions. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, aloe vera gel and glycerin - each a proxy for a naturally secreted type of mucus (globular, strand and sheet) - are blended into a buffered, aqueous hypertonic solution. Unlike some other sore throat remedies, it does NOT contain numbing anesthetics, alcohol, antiseptics, analgesics, antihistamines, decongestants, anti-inflammatory agents or any other "medicinal" ingredient that can produce unwanted side effects. The improved honey-apple flavor imparts a pleasant mellow taste.

HOW DO I USE IT?
One can spray Entertainer's Secret into the throat while saying "Ahh", but a more effective way is to take a quick breath inward while spraying into the mouth.

To insure that the upper throat is reached, one should tilt the head back, aim the nozzle in the nostril and inhale sharply while spraying.

Any brief "tingling" sensation will be quickly replaced by a pleasant soothing feeling. It should be sprayed as often as necessary to eliminate dryness. As is the case with hand lotion or lip balm, over-dosing is not a concern. If the dryness, irritation or hoarseness persists for more than a few days or if there are any signs of infection, a physician should be consulted.

Update,  my voice is coming back - albeit slowly.   I think my fiance has enjoyed the past few days. 


I think I'll be better by this weekend.   .......at least I hope so!

Replying to [Rizzob]:

I think rest is the best remedy! Your voice and body is just signalling you that you need relief from overwork and stress.

Hope you recover fully soon!
