Hi Clarissa,
Sorry to hear about your vocal dilemma. However, the doc is quite right. If your cords are swollen, don't use 'em!! Take it from one who knows!!! My voice was very badly damaged 16 years ago, and that really is the best advice. Also, steam inhalation is good too, provided you don't add things to it: pure steam, nothing else.
I would advise against using your mid range voice for about a week. Then do some gentle exercising: humming that sort of thing. Any sort of strain or strangulation, stop immediately. The longer you can leave your larnyx untouched, the quicker the repair.
Take care, and let us know how it goes.
Ian Voice wrecker to the stars.
