The above solutions are all good -- here are a couple of other thoughts:
1. Most people don't drink enough water -- if you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, every day, you're much less likely to lose your voice when you get sick.2. A lot of hoarseness and voice loss occur when people who have nasal conjestion sleep with their mouths open because they can't breathe through their noses. If, when you start to get sick, you put some mentholatum around your nostrils, you'll be much less likely to get a sore throat in the first place, by helping your body to sleep with your mouth closed. I have really severe allergies and chronic respiratory illness, but sang professionally for years following the above advice.
