Laryngitis - treatment?

[ny biker]

Thanks. The visit to urgent care went more smoothly than I could have hoped, with no patients in the waiting room when I arrived. I saw a P.A. who confirmed that my lungs were clear and gave me a prescription for prednisone. If it's not better in a few days I need to see an ENT specialist. And there's no need to limit my activities.

And yes she asked "is your heart rate always this low?" I would have been disappointed if she hadn't.

The pharmacist recommended taking the first dose tomorrow morning because it can cause insomnia. I'm looking forward to it.

Btw my copay was only $20 -- with my old insurance I think it would have been $60. Many aspects of my job frustrate me but we do have good health insurance, which is an indication that upper management respects us. I do appreciate that.
