Drink tea with lemon juice in it. It will help your throat so much.

Hi Dear.,\n\nYou need to make your parents hear you.  For now get some hot tea.   That will loosen you up some so you can breath.  I personally recommend Mortin or Tylenol verse Asprin but whatever you have is better than nothing.  Take you temp. before drinking or taking anything.  If you still can't get them to listen tonight prop yourself up in bed.  Personally you may have to unset your parents and call 911.  Feel better.

Colds are caused by a virus...so there really isn't any medicine that will help. Bolster your immune response with lots of vitamin C, get plenty of rest and eat some Chicken Soup. Stay well hydrated too.

I think you should definately talk to your doctor. You should be able to concentrate and finish your work. You shouldn't feel sick when you yawn.

If you continue feeling like this...you should seek medical attention.  Over a year ago my throat was bothering me for over a week...I didn't do anything about it and ended up losing my voice for two weeks.  I finally sought medical attention when I lost my voice and found out that I had a polyp on my vocal cord.  So definitely if it continues to be a problem...Go see a doctor!!!

I strongly recommend talking to your doctor and getting a chest xray to rule out pneumonia.  Being as you had a cold which is primarily an upper respritory disease, if it suddenly relapsed into a stronger virus (and being as your immunities are already down) it could turn into any number of things quickly.  Also, bulk up on your vitamin C and zinc.  Both will help you feel better faster.  The primary thing, listen to your body.  Sounds like you are worn down from all of this and are in serious need of rest.  And dont forget the old standard of homemade chicken soup.  Not the canned stuff.  Homemade chicken soup has so many vitamins and nutrients in it that its not funny and its also a comfort food.  Hope you feel better soon.

when I lost my voice my dr told me that whispering was the worst thing you could do- it strains the vocal chords more than regular talking.  Best thing is to avoid talking as much as possible and just rest your voice.  It is admittedly very difficult but the more you rest the faster your voice will return.

sounds like a bad cold or the flu to me. Go see a doctor and he can tell you everything you need to know. In the mean time you can get lot's of fresh Vitamin C (fresh lemons, oranges) and use the menthol rub and some throat losenges. Drink LOTS of water or Powerade. Eat some light soup, like chicken soup. (Not dark soup) But regardless of whether you fell like you might be getting better, go see a doctor and make sure it's not something serious.\n\nIf you have alot of phlem in your lungs, Mucinex works great(the GREEN pack, not the blue one) Hope you feel better!

Some people can eat or drink dairy all day and it won't bother them. That would be someone like me. :p\n\nHowever if you have been eating or drinking milk products you should be able to tell if it bothers you.\n\nHoney won't always help, it depends on the person as well.\n\n\nIt would be good to get voice lessons, but the reason you need voice lessons is because you need to learn how to sing on top of your air. I teach voice myself and Breath support is the number one thing you need to learn in order to help your voice. Posture helps too, but it all ties into breath support. It will allow you to sing for longer periods of time. You will also become stronger on the higher registers of your voice. \n\nThe reason warm ups isn't the magic cure is because You could sing warm ups incorrectly until you are blue in the face and it will never help your voice!\n\nIf you are experiencing a dry throat, the others are right, it is good to drink lots of liquids.\n\nIf you have anymore questions feel free to contact me! gatortenor27@yahoo.com

Suck halls, don't speak if you can, have ice cream, hot chocolate (though, not too hot), soup (not too hot), and anything liquidy or creamy. Don't forget some medicine for this stuff. Don't forget some rest. If all else fails (and you don't have a solo) sing what you can and mouth the words.

A woman's voice can drive me crazy! I love them especially when they have a slight cold and their voice is a little hoarse...MAN!

stop singing, rest a while, take only warm substances avoid cold stuff...this does it for me...A mixture of honey, ginger and garlic crushed together into a paste...lick a bit and then sip some warm water, continue doing this, as you feel your throat healing, sing some simple notes...it really does work, try it and give me a feed back.

I would not sing with a throat like that if I were you. Your entire instrument will be off and you do run risk of hurting yourself. Take it easy and get better, then you can sing.

boil water then pour lemon juice in it.  Take it of the burner and put a towel over your head and pan and breathe in through your mouth for about fifteen minutes.  This will definitely help.  Then go to bed and rest your vocal cords. Shower the next morning in a steamy hot shower and do the same thing as the night before.
