ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi and thanks for the query,
Laryngitis is infection of the voice box.
Do not worry. You will be ok.
It is usually viral so antibiotics are not prescribed initially. If you do not feel better in a couple of days then you may require antibiotics.
You will also require cough suppressants.
Please ask your doctor to prescribe some cough suppressant.
Till then please some geenral measures should be followed :
1) Give complete voice rest.
2) Steam inhalation 4 times daily.
3) Drink plenty of warm fluids.
4) Avoid cold foods and air conditioning.
Regards,
Dr Kishori.
