Don't drink too much cold water - water at room temperature is better. Avoid smoking. If you've been speaking continuously for some time, take a break.

At least that's what I usually do.

Warm tea with honey works wonders. You could also use a cough drop/throat lozenge. good luck and I hope you feel better soon!
