I've been sick for a week and a half and it's really been getting on my nerves, but now, I can not speak at all.

Whenever I try to speak, I can't form any words, I either have to whisper (which is actually worse.) or just try to be very loud, but that makes me sound like a complete idiot.

I've tried boiled water and salt, icecream, hot drinks and everything but it just doesn't seem to go away. I try to rest as much as possible, but that doesn't work either.
