how long did laryngitis last for you

[rosydreams]

I have not been able to talk since Monday its driving me nuts ,i have a 5 year old so you can only imagine how fun haha .But its my birthday tomorrow and my birthdays are never great. Usually something happens and it seems years is laryngitis .How long did laryngitis last for you

Recently: one week no noise at all, one week whispery, croaky voice, two weeks throaty voice. Still croaking a bit but back to normal.

rip so its looking like the long haul ,hope your feeling better though. This is no fun =p

Couple of weeks, you need to be resting your voice as much as possible, when you do have to talk, try to talk normally not trying to whisper because whispering is actually harder work for your larynx so strains it more. Lots and lots of fluid, I didn’t have any real pain with it but keeping your throat moist is supposed to help with healing and inflammation reduction. Ibuprofen if there’s no medical reason against it because it will help with swelling in general.

thank you for the advice but my daughter has other ideas .I had to try yell today because she tried to run across a car park .Some how i think this is gonna take a while o hell haha

I hope you get better asap OP.
Warm lemon and honey water as often as you feel you need it. Stay hydrated!!
Took me about 1 week this year.

Between one week and ten days.

I used to get laryngitis regularly, 6 weeks was the longest 😳 hope you feel better soon!

thank you,this is so much fun with 3 kids hahaha

A couple of weeks. But it was winter so immediately followed by a sick bug which was then followed up by a flu like virus (COVID?) and the cough from hell for 6 weeks. I think my line manager felt bad having to give me a disciplinary for time off because I was clearly unwell. Hope you soon feel better.
