How Get My Voice Back After Cheering At The Olympic Games?

hi there, I'm a 30yr old female, and for the past few days after cheering at the olympics I have lost my voice and am unable to work, I'm headed into my 5th day of near silence. No other discomfort. I have gargled with salt water, havent really spoken these last 2 days, drank ginger and honey tea and inhaled steam through mouth-there's phlegm there! What to do, I have to be back at work on Thursday!
