How To Restore Your Voice Quickly.

So I caught a really nasty cold a couple days ago. All my symptoms have disappeared except for my headaches and my throat. I just read on this forum that warm water with honey is good for your throat and that green tea is good for your throat but do they help restore your voice quickly as well? If not, what can I do to quickly restore my voice? I am lacking practice for SM Global Auditions because of this and I can't afford to lose any more time. -_-x

Please give me all the info you have and thank you so much(:

my mom makes me hot water then add some lemon then some honey & it feels a lot better. honey helps anything.

lemon juice opens up your throat

that's what i always use and it helps me!

^ Err... how exactly do you make lemon juice? Haha. Is it a hot drink? or cold?

More suggestions appreciated~ (:

^you can just put lemon slices in your drink

it's better if it's hot water

i buy lemon juice from the store

its in like this cute little plastic lemon container

then i just like poor a teaspoonful and take it

^ I see thank you for that bit of info barbie. (: and also thank you sherry for your input. Although I despise water with lemon slices. -__-^ Maybe I`ll try it anyways since this is an emergency-ish thing. Lol.

ginsing (sp?) tea with honey

helps loads

hmmm well when i get sick...i get a big bucket of hot hot hot water put my face over it and then put a towel over my face and bucket so i can soak up the steam...then i drink i big but of hot water with ginseng, honey, and a couple of slices of lemon...acually i put alot of lemons in it but thats just me ^^

hmm..gargle with salt water? it kills the bacteria in the throat

squeeze 2 lemons in a cup or bowl. i think about 2-3 spoon full of honey and then fill the cup/bowl with enough hot water so that water is equal to how much honey+lemon juice there are.

my mom just makes it randomly. it's more sour than sweet though.

oh yea. drink more warm water or hot tea maybe?

drink ginger tea while it's hot or warm at least twice a day. it works for me and u can buy them at any asian market place in a packet.

some lemon juice & honey & hot water, mix it together and it should help.

buckley's .. taste nasty but it works

Hot tea always helps me. With honey too. Yum. ^.^

hmm..gargle with salt water? it kills the bacteria in the throat

yup

my mom always tells me to do that everytime I get a sore throat

I never do

salt water [don't drink it, just gargle it] like someone said...

:] anything hot will usually help.

for me, whenever my throat gets weird, it's miso soup always helps me for some reason... hahaha, I have no idea why o_O you can try it if you like~

well when i was in 6th grade, i went to a science camp at my school for 3 days and 2 nights. during the stay, i got a bad cold and came with a horrible voice. it was squeaky and i couldnt yell. what i did was i didnt try to talk much or yell. i drank lots of tea or anything warm. in 2 days, or 3, my voice came back.
