Answer 1

Your Vocal Cords Have Been Compromised By Some Method we Do Not Know---Taking Chanced and Wasting Precious Time could Cost you The Only Set You Were Born With---I Am Sorry to be so Blunt---Home Cures are Good on a little Scratch or Bump---BUT when it comes to an Internal,Unknown Condition Involving any Critical Organs or Structures we MUST let the Specialist Help---Before it Gets WORSE---it could be nothing more than a little swelling---BUT Where Did the Swelling Come from?What Caused it? If Rinsing My Throat out SOLVER the Problem for now,Will it Return?Is it an Infection or Cancer? Your Doctor Will Examine Your Vocal Cords,Possibly take a Culture or a Biopsy(Small Fragment of tissue) they will Have These Analysed By A Specialist in the Field and You Will Get Proper care in as short a time as possible---This is the BEST course of action---It will get you an Answer YOU CAN COUNT ON to Possibly get your Voice Back---Beyond your Voice there is the fact that this is the airway to your
lungs---Obstruct this and you Don't Breath---It Could also be that you have Aquired an Allergy to something around you every day---Constant exposure to this Could Cause a Reaction that Could Shup down not only your Lungs---I Have Spent Fifty Years In Medicine---I Have Dedicated 2/3 of my Life to Preserving Human Life---I Wish You Well Signed---JEM

Answer 2

I lost my voice once, I wasn't even sick, I was totally fine. I was out at Havasu for spring break with a bunch of friends, having a GREAT time, then after 2 days, I lost my voice.

In my case though, I had been yelling for about ... 2 days. ;o)

In the meantime, dont talk, dont even whisper. If this was your ankle, you wouldn't be able to walk on it. So leave your vocal chords alone. You may think whispering is ok, but its not. It still strains them. (thats my lecture)

Drink lots of liquid to moisten and heal. Drink some tea with honey, maybe eucalyptus, slippery elm bark is good for your throat too. If it goes on longer than you think is normal, a day? two?? go see a Dr.

Good luck!

Anyone can get laryngitis and no you don't have to have a cold. There is not much you can do except drink tea with honey and lemon to coat your throat.
