In effect there is no such thing as a cure for laryngitis as it usually caused by a virus. I however have recently been affected by laryngitis and I just could not seem to regain my voice, I was starting to become quite worried, I need my speech for work, I need my speech for my kids, I need my speech because I love to talk, I then decided to google "a cure for laryngitis" in the hope that somebody could help me.
I started to "lose my voice" after having a rather bad bout of flu. I was not too bothered to start with as my doctor had already signed me off work for a week. I just presumed that my speech would resume to normal after a couple of days and that all would be fine etc.
Unfortunately this was not the case and after around ten days my voice was still extremely hoarse. I had finished the course of penicillin, I had taken paracetamol and had been drinking plenty of fluids as the doctor had advised yet I was still unable to talk in my normal natural way. I did not want to panic, I did not want to over react but there was this nagging thought at the back of my mind that maybe something was seriously wrong with me – throat cancer perhaps. Now you may think that this was some what crazy but I am merely telling the truth – this was the way that my mind was starting to think.
After reading numerous pieces of advice on the internet I decided that what I really needed to do was to rest my voice box in a major way. This was the only thing that I had yet to do. The websites had advised to stop smoking – I did not smoke, they advised to drink regular fluids and to eat healthily – I had done this. They also recommended that people should rest their voice box almost completely – I had not done this mainly due to the fact that I have a rather busy and hectic life.
I am pleased to report that this period of solid rest did prove to be successful and that I am now back to full strength.
