Laryngitis - treatment?
To disable ads, please log-in.
I've had a bad cold for almost a month now. Most of the symptoms have cleared up, but I have a lingering case of laryngitis. This has happened before, where a bad cold ended with laryngitis, and a few times I've been completely unable to speak at all. This time around I can still talk but my voice is very hoarse. And as mentioned in other threads, it has affected my breathing while exercising because the swollen vocal cords make it harder for air to pass through.
It's been almost two weeks since my voice first became hoarse. Last week it was worse than the week before, so I worked from home in order to minimize the need to talk to anyone. The breathing problem has gotten better. But my voice has still not recovered.
I haven't been to a doctor because I don't think there's anything they can do to help. But I really need this to get better. Does anyone know if there is something a doctor can do, or if there's anything I can do other than drinking lots of fluids and using throat drops?
Thanks!
