What's the best way to get your voice back?!
Question: I'm over a cold, but have lost my voice due to strain of talking on the phone at work a lot.
I have to give an important presentation on Monday where I am the key speaker.
Any 'old wives' tales' or other home remedies that work well?

Hot tea with lemon and honey works best for me. Also, if you have to talk, don't whisper or try to make your voice softer, this actually puts more stress on your vocal cords than trying to talk normally.
As an aside, try not to speak as much as possible. This will help along with the hot tea.
A nice hot tea is the remedy. In a pot put about 2 cups water, a piece of ginger root, and lemon rind-juice. Bring to a boil and then add honey. Works like a charm
Sour candy like Jolly Ranchers. My pharmacist shared this me when I worked on the phone many years ago. Basically it makes you salivate and that clears the toxins out. I hope you feel better soon!
