Time is the healer of everything.

Sounds like your doing all the right things. if it lasts much longer go back to the doctor

It seems that everybody has laringitis lately.
Get yourself some naproxen over the counter and take 250 to 500 mgs twice a day for 10 days, you will start noticing the difference in about 24 hrs.
