I'm in the really rubbish position that my husband has been losing his voice on and off for the last 5 weeks, so I have been running his recruitment agency waiting for him to see a specialist. I've managed to come down with a really sore throat and am having to do everything vocally with work and our two small children. I'm writing a lot of notes when I'm not on the phone and we have got an amplifying phone so I'm not having to speak any louder than if I was talking to someone in the same room.
Help - I can't lose my voice - any ideas?????

If it is because of overuse of your voice, try honey lozengers during the day and try a spoonful of honey at night or hot tea with honey and lemon. If you are developing a sorethroat related to a cold or other germ, gargling with colloidial silver and then swallowing the silver about 3 times a day will stop a sore throat in 24 hours and usually keep you from getting any other cold or flu symtoms. If you keep your throat lubricated during times of lots of talking, you should have no problem with losing or straining your voice. You can get colloidial silver at the health food store.

Boil water (like you're going to make a cup of tea) then even as it receives to a temperature that you'll drink (yet nonetheless warm) upload about a tbsp. of baking soda (some shakes of salt optionally available) do not drink it although - Gargle with this mix! This cleans out the bacteria and an infection on your throat. If the sore throat is as because of the your sinuses draining, get a nasal bidet. They artwork wonders! they're about $20.00, they comprise the little packets that you upload to the water. It appears like a touch plastic teapot, you upload lukewarm water to the little teapot, upload the packet (it is also baking soda and salt) shake it up, pour it in a unmarried nostril and that is going to flow all by your sinuses and flush them out. The water will come out the different nostril. it may sound ugly besides the undeniable fact that that is extremely not. And once you've a sinus an infection, that is going to do wonders. typically, you may tell if that is a sinus an infection once you've soreness between your eyes and purely above your eyebrows or round your cheekbones. also, in case you awaken with a good number of gunk on your throat contained in the morning, it may also be because your sinuses were draining into your throat even as you sleep. Pharmacies in a good number of cases carry the Nasal Bidet (besides the undeniable fact that they don't look to all be attentive to it). They likely all have diverse kind names. One kind call is NasaFlo ( I protected the link below).

Definitely try honey and lemon. Also any kind of tea.
If that doesn't work, my grandmother used to do this:
Score an onion (make shallow cuts all the way around)
Put it in a glass jar
Fill the jar with honey and cover it
Put the jar in a pan of boiling water and let it boil for a few hours
Remove the onion from the jar but leave the honey in it
Use this honey in tea or water, on food, with lemon, or by itself. It's supposed to help better than just plain honey.

Hi, Gargling with soluble aspirin is wonderful.
Honey and lemon is yummy, add some ginger for a bit of tang.
Stay away from sore throat sweets unless they are sugar free as the sugar feeds the bug!
Also known for bug feeding are milk and cream so stay away from them too and try a herbal tea instead.

Lemon tea,
It really helps, and anything minty to sooth the pain.
I have the throat thing right now,
Anything with Zinc in it is REALLY good, it's like super boost for your imune system, with the zinc he should be able to kick it by tomarrow or the next day, at a drug store, look for cough medicine, called "ColdEaz. not sure how it's spelled, but it is PACKED with Zinc. Tell your hubby I'm srry, him and me are suffering together. Good Luck.

Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is the best remedy I have found for sore throat. 10 drops in juice (well stirred and quickly consumed) several times daily seems to do the trick real fast.

You should disinfect your vicinity,it can't be normal that both of you have the same complaint ! Crush lots of garlic and put it in a jar of honey let it marinate overnight and start taking it one tablespoon every 4 hrs . ! You can give that to your children too so that they don't get it !

Honey has a soothing and anti bacterial effect. Try and get some local honey rather than the cheap imported stuff.

Glycerine pastilles from Boots. They coat the throat and are very soothing, no alcohol or drugs in them but they do a good job and come in blackcurrant or strawberry flavour.
