I have a really bad flu at the mo (as I've mentioned in some other threads). It seems to go thru phases. Last week Mon & Tues was sniffle only, then Wed (the day after I went to the Aus-Scot game) thru to Fri it was extreme nose blockage from swelled sinuses - could not sleep because of it & used about 3 bottles of Nyal nasal spray to try & keep it clear. Saturday & Sunday I went thru the head ache & nausea stage. Monday & Tuesday I'm now going thru the mucus & coughing & no voice phase. I saw the doctor Tuesday who said using too much Nyal actually does the reverse & blocks the nose even more. She said in terms of the voice I just need rest.
Now, I know rest is the best thing as the doc said but does anyone have any home remedies or things that have helped speed up getting their voice back? (aside from not talking). I'm curious because I've seen advice online that says drink plenty of cold drinks due the vocal cords being swollen & others saying warm drinks like Tea.
Given I have a reputation with my family & mates as a smart arse there are quite a few of them that have been celebrating my temporary muteness - I need my voice back ASAP!
