ever lost your voice?

You're talking to the Queen of Laryngitis here. I haven't been able to talk in 2 weeks. I'm JUST getting my voice back...but very slowly. It started as a really bad cold, then a sinus infection and then laryngitis....I even got conjunctivitis too. Today marks the end of week 4, that I've been sick.

I've been to the doctor 3 times. Did you go to your doctor? I'm on antibiotics. But she said there is really nothing you can do for laryngitis except rest. She said that mine is caused by a bacterial infection that I must have picked up when I had my cold. She suggested tea with lemon, honey and gargling with warm water & salt. She also said not to talk at all (even whisper).

So I would suggest you just rest your voice and drink lots of liquids.

Take care of yourself and be well.

I have honestly never lost my voice for longer then an hour or 2. but when I do, a nice hot cup of NeoCitron does the trick every time.

Cepacol sore throat spray works well I find. I always get stupid Strep throat and loose my voice. I think drinking hot lemon tea help too.
