Most of the time the laryngitis is caused by virus, hence can’t be treated by antibiotics. Less talking helps in the reduction of vocal cords and a humidifier may be administered to sooth the ill feeling associated with laryngitis. Doctors may recommend decongestants and painkillers to relieve the symptoms of this disease. |
