And jazakallah Sister May the Most Merciful have mercy on you on yow'mul qiyama. Ameen
Aww jazak allahu khair, and u and all of the Muslims ameen!
Honestly, I don't know how long it would take to heal, but you
must allow it to heal or more damage will likely occur. I'm unsure about the rulings for performing salaah and not being able to say the words. I know if one is mute, they will still need to perform salaah, so I'd say just perform it to the best of your ability such as by mouthing the words. If you feel you must use your voice for salaah, then limit it only to that and don't use it for anything else (but prevent yourself from whispering because that causes more strain on your vocal chords). Recite at a tone that is comfortable for you, and may allah forgive you for any shortcomings. And to keep from your iman dropping (since I can totally see how this would make you feel like you're not doing enough or that your salaah is not perfect), you can do other good acts that will increase your good deeds inshallah. In the meantime, have a humidifier around to keep your throat from drying out and try to stay hydrated. Inshallah you will feel better in no time. Just be patient :)
