∙ 9y agoYou should rest your voice; do not speak if you can help it, but don't whisper because that'll actually irritate your vocal cords more. If you only have laryngitis, you probably don't need bed rest, but if you try to continue your activities and find you actually feel terrible, heed your body and rest!
Stay hydrated. Fluids are definitely important. Don't drink anything that irritates the throat!
If you have the type of laryngitis that comes from another illness, such as influenza (the flu), bronchitis, pneumonia, or strep throat, you should not only be on bed rest but under a physician's care. If you have a bacterial infection you probably need an antibiotic, but viral infections are not treatable that way.
If you have the type of simple laryngitis that comes from overuse of your voice, resting your voice and sucking on cough drops or hard candies or even Sucrets (but read the label first!) will help, plus things like popsicles and ice cream.
But one caveat: if you suddenly find you are having severe difficulty getting your breath in, and have to struggle to get enough air, go to your nearest hospital ED, because, though extremely rare, that condition would be a life-threatening emergency. Very rarely, the epiglottis will become inflamed too and block the breathing passage (windpipe, trachea).
Take care of yourself and you'll soon be well.

How do you get laryngitis I want it?
The most common form of laryngitis is caused by a virus, just like a cold. So, if you wanted to contract laryngitis, you would have to be around someone who has it. Laryngitis causes an extreme sore throat as well as other complication, so it isn't advised that you try to contract it.
Can you permanently lose your voice from laryngitis?
It is possible, if your laryngitis is serious and goes untreated for four weeks. If it is clear that it is laryngitis and lasts close to a month's time, you need to get it checked. This could lead to permanent voice damage if not checked my a doctor or E.N.T doctor either. However, the chances of you losing your voice permanently are very low, and even if you did have laryngitis, you would have to be forcing your voice to do things like, say, belting Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" as loud as you can everyday on a regular basis.

What is the differents between bacterial laryngitis and viral laryngitis?
To understand the difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral, we must first have a good understanding of the difference between bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are living single celled-organisms that can live outside of a living host and multiply on surfaces such as telephones, door handles, counters, etc. Bacteria infect a host and reproduce in order to multiply. Viruses are non-living organisms that infect a host and then "reprogram" the host's cells to do the job of producing more virus. The difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral laryngitis, is bacterial laryngitis is not systemic, meaning that it only attacks one area of the body particularly the larynx (voice box) or immediate surrounding areas of the throat. Whereas viral laryngitis is systemic meaning that it causes other symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, etc. The more "cold-like" symptoms you have, the less likely you are to have the bacterial version of laryngitis. Also, the presence of a fever points more towards bacterial laryngitis than viral. Bacterial laryngitis is highly contagious where viral is not. Bacterial laryngitis can be spread very easily to others because it is an airborne bacteria. So if you suspect that you have the bacterial version of laryngitis, stay away from others and take precautions such as washing your hands and using antibacterial hand sanitizers. The treatment of viral laryngitis is lots of hot, clear fluids such as tea and chicken broth and plenty of rest. Whereas the treatment of bacterial laryngitis is antibiotics perscribed from your doctor.
What are my treatment options for laryngitis?

Voice therapy may also be recommended for chronic laryngitis.
