My friend has laryngitis could i have gotten it?

my friend was over the other day(saturday) and we were drinking and we shared drinks and yesterday(monday) she was diagnosed with laryngitis and now my throat is sore and i feel like coughing and its a sore dry feeling. do you think i got it? and also she was given drugs for it so it was bacterial and i know its an airbourne disease and there were alot of people here that day.

鈾?If her laryngitis was viral then no it is not contagious... however if its bacterial then yes its contagious. Here is some info on bacterial laryngitis:

The presence of a fever usually indicates the laryngitis is bacterial. Bacterial laryngitis is contagious, and it's usually acquired from somebody else who is already sick. Bacterial laryngitis is contagious until a day or two after the last symptom has disappeared. In serious infection, this may take a couple of weeks. Aside from a high fever, other symptoms that indicate the presence of bacterial laryngitis are: severe pain rather than a simple sore throat, difficulty swallowing, colored nasal discharge, and pain extending to the ears. Bacterial laryngitis is especially serious in a child, since it can masquerade a severe condition called epiglottitis, where the airway closes almost completely.

If you think you may have bacterial laryngitis, stay home and away from other people. In most cases, your doctor will recommend a course of antibiotics and treating your symptoms at home with voice rest and hot drinks. Until the infection has cleared, it's better to minimize contact with others, as the infection can be spread without direct contact (airborne).Most cases resolve in less than a week, after which is safe to return to your normal routine.

One can have both viral and bacterial infections active at the same time and a viral infection can create the environment for a super bacterial infection to occur. That is why some MDs prescribe antibiotics when a viral infection is present, not that I agree with this practice, especially when we are in the throes of super bug dominance...but that's the way it is.
