Inflammation...: This is usually caused by a viral type of infection which triggers inflammation of your vocal cords. Usually resolves with plenty of fluids and rest( in this case voice rest). You may use honey as well to help accelerate recovery. However, for a very speedy recovery prednisone can be used which targets the inflammatory process but it needs to be prescribed by a provider.

Rest: Rest your voice and avoid any thing that can strain your vocal cords. Adequate fluid intake.Use a vaporizer to keep the air around you moist.. Avoid decongestants as it may cause dryness of your airways
