Any old housewife tales or cures for recurring laryngitis ?

I have had laryngitis for the past two weeks and can't get my hoarse voice to go away and my chesty cough. No i don't smoke and i have been resting my voice. Any Ideas? and yes i have been to the doctor.

My mom does this:

Put vinegar in to a pot until it boils, then add sugar, wait until it starts burning and smoke comes out. Tur off the stove and walk around with the voporing/smoking pot.
This kills virus in the air and prevents re-infection. (this also works with regular cough and sinus, as well as flu.

Try gargling with TCP, this always helps sore throats and keeps the area germ free

Tie a smelly sock around your neck, it did sod all for me , but you may be lucky! Try your local heath shop, should have plenty of old-time remedies available, and many of them natural products. I imagine you have had antibiotics, if they have not worked , ask the GP for a throat swab, perhaps you have resistance to some medicines. A lab scan of your swab can often indicate the right treatment.

honey and lemon
