I've been using my voice a lot and sometimes I get really tired. My throat gets tired and dried. I'm afraid I strained my vocal cords.

Don't talk for a couple days and let them heal and rest.

Close, but no. What is happening is a prelude to straining the chords. It is natures way of telling you you are starting to over use your vocal chords. Try using a sucrets or other throat lozenge, even hard candy will help lubricate and keep from drying out the throat. That is if you can use sugared products. Most important of all is prevention. No offense, but try not talking as much in order to rest your voice.

I had this few times. Finally I went to a doctor and found very tiny lumps in my throat which was caused from over using my voice loudly which I am not used to.
Rest for couple of days both vocally and physically. No very cold or very hot food or drinks. Honey, ginger, lemon will help. After recovery completely, try to do some 5 min/day exercise for your vocal chord, like chanting or whatever you find comfortable.

It may be for the better to err on the safe side of reluctance. The Vet you spoke with did not see him. You may need to have a good vet take a look. You don't want to risk any type of bacterial infection even if it is not strangles.

Rest your vocal cords. I've done that too from overusing them from singing.

It's hard to beat warm tea with lemon and honey it it to soothe and relieve the dryness and soreness. Other than that, rest up by not using it so much til you get more used to it.

gargle with salt water and don't talk for a while until they heal. you can gargle and drink Aloe Vera Juice also. That will speed up the healing.
