The Plague Continues

[magicofisis]

Ack - I feel like such a whiner, or I would if I could whine. The Plague seems to have settled itself into my vocal chords and I have almost no voice

The hot toddy-non-virgin edition: hot water, lemon, honey & 2 oz of whiskey or rum or brandy. The lemon will help clear out the gunk from your vocal chords and the fumes from the whiskey or rum will open your blood vessels.

Virgin edition: I like Peppermint tea (if you have it) with just a touch of honey. Anything that has some aromatic property will do.

The other thing you can do is bring a pad of paper and a pen. ::loves::

aww hugs, I hope you feel better soon.
I do find that oft rec'd tea w/lemon & honey helps to clear the throat a bit.

Yeah, we do the honey and lemon drinks, just honey, lemon and hot water.

Or ginger tea and honey (just sliced ginger in hot water then add honey)

But my first thought was take a pen. If your voice does cut out you can still get across what you need.

Gargle with salt water. I mean, do this SEVERAL times. I did it while I had the plague before Christmas and it gave me just enough voice so I could handle a 45-minute choir practice. *hugs*

Obviously you already had your appointment, but here is my two cents:

hot tea with honey and a little vanilla extract. The vanilla actually acts as a very mild pain killer and also tastes nummy.
