You seem to have addressed the joint pain but what about the Laryngitis. I'm worried that I have had no voice for 25 days.
Brief Answer:
You should take higher antibiotic.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
For laryngitis, in my opinion, you should take higher antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin.
Also do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
If still not improving then consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic examination of larynx.
