How Should Chronic Cough, Swelling And Laryngitis Be Treated?

i guess , it would not hurt to ask. I have a daughter that is 23 years old fighting with a chronic cough for about 3 months now and she has no voice. been to allergy specialist no thing there . been to pulmonary doc and lungs sound ok. pft test came out ok. ent said she had asthma but something else is going on. she has taken steroids and cough meds and we are still fighting this. any advise on any home remedies on how we can get her throat to unswell so her voice box can work again.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Any hoarseness of voice need to be investigated thoroughly for laryngeal problem.
Laryngitis can cause hoarseness of voice with upper respiratory tract infection. The treatment involves,
a. Salt water gargling
b. Steam inhalation
c. Plenty of fluids
d. Rest for voice
e. Possible antibiotics
Please follow this for some days if not subsided then visit your doctor for followup and investigating the cause for hoarseness.
All the best.
