I have lost my voice so i can't talk what would be the best way to try to get my voice back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Voice rest: If this happened along with a cold, then we think of acute laryngitis. There is no great way to get your voice back other than to avoid using your vocal cords as much as possible, and humidified air. Antibiotics are of little help (b/c mostly caused by virus). Systemic steroids (prednisone) are sometimes prescribed to public speakers or singers, but there are side effects. Best of luck!
