Laryngitis Help?

I have laryngitis because I've been sick a few days ago, and as a result, I have a constant cough. The problem is, my birthday is on Tuesday, and I want to be able to properly talk. Any tips for rapidly improving the condition of my voice? Thanks!

Treatment depends on the cause.

If you smoke, stop. If you drink alcohol, stop. If you go the laryngitis from yelling, rest your voice. If you don't know why you have the laryngitis and it has been several days, please see your doctor.

Otherwise, if it is a virus, it must run its course. Avoid clearing your throat, try not to talk, and inhale the steam from a shower or a bowl of hot water (don't get close enough to burn your face!). Hope it is gone by Tuesday and have a very Happy Birthday!
