HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In general it can take from a 2 days to a week for the voice to return after a viral infection.
It would be important to rest the voice during this time. Treating any symptoms of post nasal drip and avoiding irritants such as smoke would be important.
Steam inhalation would also be helpful
I hope this helps
