Rest your voice this week. Don't talk unless it is necessary.
Gargle with warm salt water as often as you want. I use 1 tsp per 8 oz warm water.
Avoid cold things. The cooler air overnight is likely what caused your problem. Wear a scarf.
Eating jello helps me.
Use Halls if you aren't allergic (I am. They make any scratchiness I have worse)
There are other remedies, but these are what work for me or for other people I know. A natural remedy at the link below. I've never tried it or know anyone who has.

Get to your doctor, sweetheart! That's your only hope, and it's a good hope!!! :)
In the meantime, drink hot herbal lemon tea with honey. Good luck. Skip work tomorrow (get a note,) and SEE THE DOCTOR!!
