What is a surefire way to get your voice back when you lost it I had a cough because I swallowed something down the wrong way and we had guest so I didn't finish coughing it up and now I can't talk?

Don't try to talk for a while. Drink liquids (not carbonated as the gases and burping could make it worse) and wait for it to get better. Nothing more than that. Maybe take cough medicine if your still coughing.
