How Can Laryngitis And Hoarseness Be Treated?
I was diagnosed with laryngitis last Thursday because of a sore throat and hoarseness. I was given amox-clav for 10 days still taking them and now my voice is completely Gone. I feel great otherwise. Is this laryngitis & when will my voice come back?

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of laryngitis. Difficulty talking is a common problem with laryngitis. For now, to regain your voice, do the following:
1) Voice rest. Try and restrain yourself from talking too much now.
2) Gargle with warm water and salt or Betadine.
3) If your throat is still sore, you could use cough drops containing an analgesic. It will come back. Slow and steady.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan
