Gargling with warm salt water. Mix 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon table salt and make sure that you gargle until the whole cup is used. Choroseptic spray is also quite good it numbs the throat and soothes the tissues. Drink plenty of plain cool water to keep hydrated and for a flavor taste you can try beef or chicken broth. Both will hydrate and soothe your throat. Make sure that you have a small supply of hard candies on hard through out the day and talk only when necessary until the speech. If the irritation continues please consult with your physician as you might be coming down with a more serious infection. I hope that you feel better soon.

Tea with honey and some cough drops should at least get you though doing a short speech. Even if it's still a little sore, you should be able to get some voice from that. Rest your voice as much as possible leading up to it as well. Save your energy basically.

Start gargling with salt water as often as you can stand it. If you think you may be catching a cold, high doses of vitamin C and Zink will more likely prevent a cold.

Take 1000mg of vitamin C and about 500mg of Zink. You can find these high dose single pills at your local pharmacy or vitamin shop. Make sure you take them with a full stomach, since they will cause a bit of nausea.

First, go to the doc and make sure there's nothing wrong with your tonsils, if there is the other recommendations (tea, honey, cough drops, vitamins, etc.) will do nothing for you.
