First day of my new job and I was mute. I can crack an ugly and broken word or two but it's bad. It's not that talking hurts, I literally can't make the noises. I am otherwise fine, very mild cold symptoms(mostly mild ear pain). Luckily these first few days are just HR stuff.

I already know the basics;

Don't talk
No alcohol or acidic stuff
Drink water
gargle with saltwater
don't whisper
The tea stuff is BS

Anyone have any other advice? I've never had this before and am wondering how long this usually lasts. I need to contribute on the job by Friday at the latest. Thanks guys.
