General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

This condition comes post infection, laryngitis. Since you took antibiotics probably you had bacterial laryngitis. It may need some time for mucosa to get recovered. It may need up 2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
