I need help asap ....?

Question

Hi, I have a very important job interview tomorrow for a call center rep.only thing is, I have somehow strained my throat and can barely talk..I havent been sick or anything..but I need some quick at home remedys for getting rid of this asap.I am 23,so it isnt my voice "changing" or anything like that.It is 11pm and the interview is at 6pm tomorrow night!!Please help me.Thanks.I am willing to try about anything!!!

Answer 1

First of all, stop stressing. That's the number one cause of strained voice (believe me, I have lost my voice for up to 8 WEEKS!). Second, brew some tea (green is good) and add honey and lemon and sip that. If you have any lozenges in the house, you can suck on them during the day (and continue the honey, tea, lemon routine). No talking, humming, singing, screaming, etc until just before the interview. If you have any 'slippery elm' or can get to a health food store, it works too. Anything to soothe your frazzled nerves will help your throat (yoga, meditation, etc.). And remember, they will be really lucky to have you for an employee!

Answer 2

Do not speak until you have to. Resist the temptation to keep trying it to see how it sounds. Don't whisper because that's actually harder on your vocal cords. Before bed, gargle with warm salt water. Then, if you have honey, try some weak, clear hot tea and swallow a spoonful of honey. When you wake tomorrow, gargle with warm salt water, followed by the tea and honey thing again. You can do this a few times during the day. Resist the urge to use your voice. Speak aloud gently at 4 p.m. If your voice is still gone, contact the person you have the interview with (even if you have to have someone else do the talking for you after you have squeaked out what you are able.) Tell them you were stricken with an ill-timed case of severe laryngitis and apologize for the inconvenience. Give them the option if they would want you to come anyways (they won't) or reschedule. Thank them profusely. If possible, follow with an e-mail thank you for the courtesy of rescheduling. If you handle this with class, it will most certainly count in your favor instead of against you.

Answer 3

Heat a cup of water (in microwave, is possible) with a 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar...add a 1 Tbs honey. Sip slowly.

Answer 4

try a sore throat spray or cough drops, it will moisten the area. Also try tea with honey and lemon. Try inhaling steam (like a home facial- just make sure its not too hot!!!)
Thats all I can think of for now...

You can try this website and click on any link you want. http://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&q=Sore+Throat+&meta=
For the home remedies, you can garle your mouth with salt water or make a tea and add a teaspoon of honey.
Good luck, pal.

Answer 6

I would gargle with salt water and use warm or hot compresses on my throat. Brush your teeth and tongue really well to kill as many germs as you can and drink plenty of liquids, take a really hot bath and get plenty of sleep. All of these should help.

Answer 7

Lemon tea with honey. Honey is the key ingredient. Good luck.

Answer 8

I'll let someone else handle the medical part, but I'd suggest just trying to relax. In all honesty, it really sounds stress induced.

Answer 9

Brew some water with sliced lemons, sliced ginger & whole cloves of garlic, add honey when done.

Answer 10

something warm such as tea will soothe your irritation...try a spoonful of honey/lemon to coat your throat...good luck on your interview
