The bad news is there are no miracles (disclaimer: check with the
representative of your religion of choice).
Assuming it is just the result of a virus, and you absolutely,
positively, MUST sing, steroids may help, BUT -- this is just a last
ditch, desperate attempt and only under the guidance of a doctor with
experience with singers. For 99.9% of singers, the only reasonable
treatment is a little rest, plenty of fluids, steam inhalation. If it
lasts longer than three weeks, you may need to be scoped to look at the
vocal tract.
