Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome to HCM,

Since you have an inflamed voice box, I will suggest the following.
You can gargle with a warm solution of Alum--and do not spit out. Swallow it very slowly--twice a day.

Also gargle similarly with Betadine twice a day.
Take a good multivitamin with B complex, vitamin C and Zinc in it.
It may take a couple of weeks, but you should improve.

Since your ENT doctor has examined you, I would not worry about the flapping bit for the present.
You can additionally try an anti allergic tablet like Fexofenadine 120 mg once a day.

Please revert back.
Regards
