Gargle with tepid saltwater. I used to fix myself a hot toddy but learned this will help spike any temperature you have and high temps are very bad for you.
Drink lots of water.

Coffee and tea are diuretics (more gets excreted than goes in). Ginger has no effect on the vocal cords; it's great for stomach upset, though.
Drinking cool (not cold) liquids will help soothe the area. Liquids don't have direct contact with the vocal cords. If you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, you will be well-hydrated, generally. That's all you can do.
I hope the ENT who removed the nodule referred you to a speech pathologist who can help you learn good vocal hygiene and prevent the nodule from returning.
