HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The voice rest is the way for that but it is bit difficult, but still you keep it trying, while speaking just low down your tone, try to peak near to whisper level, speech therapy can be tried, it will come around definitely without surgery but may take longer than enough time till then you have to take care of your voice not shouting or coughing loudly, avoid speaking unnecessarily have nice day.
