What would be the best solution to get my voice back as soon as possible?

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!

For aches and pains, Tylenol is still the best treatment. Lozenges such as Halls or Fisherman's Friend can provide local relief of throat irritation.

I strongly suggest nasal hygiene with saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse which can be done as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. It's a little uncomfortable but works extremely well to prevent secretions from running down the throat and causing coughing.

I encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot depending on your preference.

It is the combination of these measures that will also help with the hoarseness.

If your symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement or get worse, you should see a doctor.

I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
