Yes I understand why this would give you shivers. Are you a smoker? My husband have a small cyst removed from his vocal cords - prior to the surgery his voice sometimes sounded slightly similar to speaking while under water. The surgery went very well. Do you have sinusitis or an upper respiratory infection?

Get some fresh gingeroot - take a 1" piece, peel it, slice thinly and boil in 11/2 cups of water for 7 min. Add sugar if you like and drink as tea. You could add a green tea bag to for extra nutrition. Ginger root is soothing to the throat and stomach. I hope you recover and it's not a cyst. Best of luck.
