laryngitis anyone?
This sucks.. i'm assuming that drinking hot tea and not talking is about all you can do... i'm on day 2 after working 6 hours yesterday and whispering to everyone.

1. Not since I was a kid
but i've had it a few times in my life. Resting your voice is the best thing for it and staying on your meds. I used to get laryngitis and strep throat all the time when I was little.

4. Actually, whispering is worse for your vocal cords
than talking. It puts far more strain on them. Try not to talk at all, you should be better in a day or so.

5. I used to get it all the time......
sucks when your a police dispatcher (in my younger yrs 18-21) I used crushed asprin and warm water garrgle. I did the whiskey thing one time and ended up buzzed at work, everyone laughed when I fell down. Also try warm salted water, both that and the asprin always worked for me. Followup with tea with honey.

and don't call me in the morning I will be sleeping.......
