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.
With regards to work I need my speech due to the fact that I am a stammering therapist; basically helping people who have a stammer to achieve fluency. I also work on other projects to do with enabling people to gain access to cost reduction specialists and about web promotion tips. My voice is an important part of all these.
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 sure that you will be relieved to hear that I am now back to my old healthy self after having an extended period of rest.
