My voice went hoarse and has now nearly gone!?

Question

the other day out of nowhere my voice went a little hoarse and now the next day its almost gone. i was just wondering how long is it going to take before my voice should come back and is there anything i could do to help my voice recover?!

Answer 1

Rest it!  Don't speak for any reason - just keep a notepad and pen so you can write a response to friends and family.  And if it doesn't get better in a day or two, call a doctor.

Answer 2

I dunno why that happened but i lost my voice - totally lost it for three days and it came back... that was 10 years ago...   been fine since.

Answer 3

Drink lots of water, or warm water with honey =)  

Answer 4

Don't speak much, unless absolutely necessary.

Drink Lemsip, and Hot water with honey :D

Answer 5

There is laryngitis...a virus which takes its course.

I recently watched a program on TV regarding spasmodic dysphonia.  You might want to check into this disease if you do not have laryngitis.

Answer 6

  Resting your voice and drinking plenty of fluids can help ease a lost voice. But anything that helps a hoarse voice can also help one that's faded away.
