lost my voice, any good home remedies?

Boil a onion,sip the juice,then, here's the nasty part,put the onion in a sock and tie it around you neck and go to bed. when you wake up the next morning you'll have your voice back. my grandmother from the montains of Tennessee believed in it and i've seen it work.

Tea with honey.

Also, try Zicam as far as medicine goes, it'll help a TON. It's pretty much the only thing I'll swear by.

My dr prescribed a cough medicine and that helped, the cough is pretty much gone but the head cold isnt and I just cant manage to be quiet for long thanks to my youngest. I got a call from my credit card yesterday and I tried to tell her I couldnt talk and she kept saying could you repeat that, I finially "yelled" at her all cracking voice and hung up.

Don't try to talk... sip herbal tea w/lemon and get a lot of sleep. Sounds soooo silly, but the most important thing is sleep so your body can recover.

I hope you feel better soon. I hate when I can't talk.
