I know this sound gross but hot water and salt. Dissolve a lot of salt into a cup of hot water, gargle with it and I guarantee it will help. My mother always had me do it when I was younger and I still do it as an adult. I hate the taste and my pain had to be drastic to get me to do it but it always works, the hot water sooths the throat and the salt kills any bacteria. Gargle with it three times a day and I promise after just the first time you will start to feel better. Good Luck

Lemon and honey in hot water, or Throat Soothers Tea (Yogi Tea or Celestial Seasonings - you can get it in any grocery store).
Also, rest your voice and don't talk. Go to the doctor because you may need an antiobiotic.
At home, use a humidifier, and rest as much as possible. You can also use the kind of throat drops that have an anesthesia in them to numb the pain (Sucrets or something like that).
Good luck, and feel better soon.

You've got laryngitis. It will go away, but it'll be annoying and painful in the meanwhile. Gargle with hot salt water, and drink hot teas and hot salty drinks. You will be less miserable.
Good luck!

drink honey and lemon tea. It really soothes your throat. Don't try to talk, because you'll strain your vocal chords. Rest them!

drink tea, use throat drops if you have, and try not to whisper; it just strains your voice more.
