    Go on a COMPLETE vocal rest with NO singing, whispering, shouting nor yelling AT ALL and as little speaking aloud as possible. Stay well hydrated, but do NOT have anything caffeinated (tea included!) as it will only make you feel WORSE. If your throat is not back to normal after an aforementioned vocal rest of, say, 2-4 more weeks, then go see an ear-nose-throat specialist for proper examination and further advice.
