ok what you need to do is in a favourite mug, add to hot water 4 teaspoons of honey and a slice of lemon. the honey will soothe and the lemon adds a nice tang! If you cant be bothered with all of that, heat a mug of lemonade in the microwave for 2 mins! it has the same effect

When it comes to treating physical ailments that affect your voice, what are your favorite remedies?
Susan Eichhorn, a widely respected Canadian singing teacher and musical theatre coach now based in midtown Manhattan in New York City, suggested to me in the past that if one were suffering from congestion, boiling some sliced ginger root with lemon rinds in water for a few hours on the stove, straining the liquid, and then consuming at a fairly warm temperature does wonders (I've tried it and it works).
Susan, during her time at the University of Western Ontario, also used to recommend raspberry flavored zinc lozenges to help combat a sore throat. Again, a tried and true method that also had a delightful taste. Genius!
For minor irritations, I suggest a warm cup of lemon herbal tea (don't add sugar), some vocal rest and a good nights sleep. These remedies may do the trick, especially where fatigue is concerned.
Of course, one of the best roads to take when maintaining the health of your instrument is prevention.

Talk slow and steady, don't strain your voice and you will talk forever without a problem. Drink nice warm Green Tea, or other warm beverages to soothe your throat.

If you like hot tea, a little honey with the tea can help temporarily, other than that just give your vocal chords a rest, or get another job if all else fails!
