This can be very uncomfortable! And you must continue speaking your classroom. Vocal strain can occur from poor posture while speaking, as well as from forced loud speaking over a long period of time. A formal option would be to seek out a vocal coach to problem solve your concern. They would likely assign vocal exercises to strengthen and warm up your voice.
