I had a virus about two weeks ago and my throat hurt really bad. I went to the doctor and they said it wasn't strep. I was able to talk then but now I can't. When I talk, my voice is really deep and not very loud. I am not able to sing in church or even talk in a high pitched voice. I thought I should have gotten my voice back by now but it still sounds weird. How do I get it back soon?

Drink hot liquids and don't try to talk much. Give it rest and it will come back.

all the answers you got are good ones
if you would like to try some very old treatments
1- boil some anise and drink it more often - it soothes the chords
2- chew on a raw piece of garlic - instant disinfectent for the throught

don't talk alot, and when you do, don't try to whisper, it actually strains you throat more. The only way to get full recovery is to take the time to heal. You will be singing again in no time!

I lost my voice for a week.
Don't whisper.
Try not to talk too much (my b/f loved this).
Gargle warm salt water.

Try drinking some Throat Coat Tea, found at GNC stores. And try not to use your voice if you don't have to.

Happens to me alot , hot lemonade, if you don't have it make it, lemon juice, water sugar in a microwave. I find honey too thick.
