HELP! I've lost my voice. Tips needed.

[Spidermama]

This is day four and there's nothing there but a squeak.

My job depends on my voice so I'm off work and embarrassed about it just imagining the comments I'm getting. (Typical mum, always ill can't hold down a job blah blah blah.)

Any tips on how best to re-find my voice?

Doc reckons it's thrush following 3 lots of anti biotics after getting a hosp infection.
I've taken the fluconazole he gave me. He also prescribed my more ABs. I'm holding off with those because I'm only just begining to build up again with pro-biotics and I don't feel like I have an infection.

Any advice or similar experiences?

No tips but just wanted to say poor you, ill and feeling guilty
Hope ypu get over the guilt AND get your voice back v soon.

There used to be a spray you could get, you spray it on the back of your throat.
I'll have a look on boots web page to see if I can see what it's called.

Oh dear

I recommend hot water with 1 tablespoon of clear honey, the juice of 1 lemon and a pinch of ginger - drink it while it's warm and repeat every few hours. And don't try to speak at all until this evening, just take deep breaths and try to relax your throat. It works for me when I have to sing and my voice goes croaky. I don't know if it'll work in your case though, my loss of voice is usually caused either by tonsillitis or just over-use.

What an arse for you

Thanks all.
Thanks Greeners. I'll try the drink thing but have to wait 'til it's nearly cold as it hurts so much atm.

I'm pissed off because despite eating the best diet I possibly can my immune system can't seem to handle the slightest thing.

I'd probably be dead if I didn't eat organic.
