What Causes Difficulty Swallowing When Suffering From Laryngitis?

I ve just been to the ENT for complete laryngitis. I m on antibiotics recovering from an ear and sinus infection. The ENT saw an ulcer on my larynx. He prescribed prilosec and prednisone for inflammation. Here are my questions: 1) Will apple cider vinegar help or hurt? 2) Will benedryl help or hurt? I still have lots of post nasal drip. 2) ENT said my voice might return by Monday. Other internet sources say that I should remain quiet for weeks. I have to speak for work (I am a child therapist). What is the best thinking on this? 3) I forgot to tell him that I also have trouble swallowing often when I eat. Could this be related?

Hello, thanks for your query.

post nasal drip secondary to sinusitis causes cough and voice change.

answers for queries-

benadryl helps in releiving allergic cough, apple cider is not a medication.

absolute voice rest with antibiotics and antacids will help in getting the voice soon.

difficulty in swallowing also related to laryngitis, with the aboue medications, it will heal.


All the best.
