I have a bad cold and my voice is pretty much gone, whats left sounds hoarse and it hurts. Any quizk fixes aside from medication?
plenty of water and warm fluids (e,g chicken corn soup)
Some black tea with honey and few drops of lemon will help.
whisper sweet nothings into someone’s ear to make the most of the malady, SS. 
remember life, lemons and lemonade.
Very warm nicely made chicken corn soup. Any other soup would do but chicken corn soup is the best. Make sure the warm soup contents touch every bit of your throat.
