has anyone else had this and if so, what does one do? Should I see a doctor? Any home remedies? seriously, this is very annoying, I can't yell at the dog, can't yell at my kids, can't use the phone...

Rest..and drink a lot of fluids...and since you live in the LA area, stay in doors for a few days..

LOTS of water

Ireneparalegal · 09-27-2005, 05:41 PM

rest my voice...hmmmm, with a 3 year old and a 16 year old....LMAO!!!! that's probably how I got laryngitis to begin with....LOL
I am trying seriously to rest my voice though.

I had that a few years ago. It really freaked me out. I went to the doctor and she wrote me a prescription for some pills and I had my voice back in a couple days.

It took me 3 days to get over laryngitis. How i got it I will never know. Rest and drink plenty of fluids and gargel with salt water.

oh thanx, it seems that is the popular advice. I appreciate the input all of you have given me. it really is irritating. can't use the phone.

I had a really bad case of laryngitis once. The doctor told me not to use my vocal chords at all... especially not to whisper, which actually puts more stress on the chords than speaking normally. I gargled with antiseptic mouthwash followed by lemon and honey water. Also took an aspirin to combat inflammation in my throat. It took a few days to completely recover.

yeah, it does seem my voice is worse when I whisper, it also seems to give me a headache when I even try to talk...just seems the effort is a strain...seems as if my throat is kinda smaller.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Get plenty of rest. And have someone else take the kids and dog for a little while

how sweet. awwwwwww.....everybody now: awwwwwwwwww
you know, this weather we are currently having is probably not helping my voice much either...by the way it is now four days with no voice. Two days ago we had thunderstorms in the morning. four hours later it was sunny, warm and beautiful. The next day, little breeze, and very warm. Last night, it rained hard!!!! about 6 hours later, HOT HOT HOT!!!!! I have the a/c on, gave ice for the dog to chew on, it is soooo hot!!!!
thanx for the post!!!
