Can't sing! Need advice that will work!?

I have a job five days from now, and I need to be able to sing, never had this problem before and I'm flippin' my lid over it...a sinus problem, and I sound like the Creature from the Black Lagoon might sound if it could speak! I have heard of lemon drops, but what can be done that will work? It's gonna be a drag if I can't perform...please, ANY ideas I could try?

    Okay, my son sings and we all blow our pipes at church, so the trick he does is carry a bottle of peppermint oil with him, put a drop on his hand and sucks it off his hand before performing.

    Me, I had laryngitis 2 weeks ago, and after antibiotics, Mucinex, and anti-inflamatories, like Ibuprofen, I can finally talk again - yeah!!!

    Gargle with lemon juice 3 times a day.

    Drink room temperature water only! The syrup found in soft drinks with coat your throat and make singing impossible. juice and coffee aren't exceptions. They contain to much sugar. WATER!

    Start taking ecanasia (echinacea) in the morning

    get well soon =)
