First of all, I appreciate you are keen to improve your voice.
But remember, these exercises are not meant for singers and to be done
only when your throat is prefectly fine. Regarding taking something orally you can keep one green cardamom and some CANDY SUGAR (MISHRI). (or sweet diamonds as it is popularly called) in your mouth for some time. Or you can keep a small stick of Hindi Name, :, Mulethi. Sanskrit Name, :, Yastimadhu. English Name, :, Liquorice. Latin Name, :, Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn Pennel in your mouth.
These are best for keeping the throat lubricated and you can increase your throat stamina too.
