Fastest way to cure laryngitis??


Question: I need a remedy fast, I need my voice back. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Answers: Only speak unless it is absolutely necessary. Until your voice is back, whisper.

- Mint Chamomile tea with honey.
- Throat lozenges
- Hot steam, either through a humidifier or a hot shower.
- Analgesics such as aspirin or paracetamol.
The fake answer: A spoon full of honey

The real answer: Vicks brand Chloraseptic. One of the greatest medicinal anything I've ever bought.
Try garggling with warm salt water

I would recommend sipping warm tea with honey in it. Also try relaxing. Sometimes relaxing your throat muscles can help bring back a voice. It also depends on what is causing the laryngitis. If it is siezed vocal cords - the relaxation and warm compresses will help. If it is strained vocal cords - that will take a bit more time - but try resting your voice as much as possible and drinking the warm tea. Sometimes gargling with Listerine helps. Also Cloreseptic spray and lozengers will help as it has a numbing effect on your throat. Good luck and hope your voice comes back soon.
Home treatment is usually all that is needed for laryngitis. This includes resting your voice, adding moisture to your environment (humidification), taking throat lozenges, avoiding smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and drinking fluids.

Depending upon the nature of your voice problem, speech training or modification may be a part of your treatment. Your doctor may send you to a speech-language pathologist (speech therapist) for this. This type of therapy helps you learn new methods of talking or how to change bad habits that can cause recurring laryngitis and other problems. Using proper voice technique also helps your larynx heal.

Vocal cords that have been damaged, such as by sores or polyps, may require surgery.
