How does vinegar help laryngitis?

Question

i lost my voice and my mom told me to drink water/apple cide vinegar..and usually when you loose your voice a lot of people use vinegar. how does that help(medically)

Answer 1

An ounce or two of cider vinegar, straight, will do wonders for a simple sore throat and laryngitis. When I do this, I get the impression that the vinegar is absorbed into the throat on the way down and never even reaches the stomach. If you immediately, and I mean immediately follow the vinegar with a chaser of a cola soft drink, you will barely taste the vinegar at all. Be sure to rinse your mouth with water afterwards, to remove any lingering acidity from either the vinegar or the cola. If your stomach is delicate, taking a calcium supplement along with the vinegar will buffer it in the tummy.

Answer 2

Yes it is a home remedy among others.

Here are a few others.

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, commonly known as the voice box. Laryngitis is generally associated with loss of voice, sore throat or hoarseness.
The most common cause of laryngitis is a viral infection. Laryngitis can also be caused by a bacterial infection. People who smoke, sing and talk loudly for excessive periods of time are more susceptible to laryngitis.

Some effective home remedies are:
Ingredients: Water
Instructions: Drink lot's of water (8-12 glasses). Make sure the water is room temperature to warm. Water is a very effective remedy for laryngitis because it helps to lubricate the larynx (voice box).
Ingredients: tea, lemon

To make the onion syrup: slice three large onions and put them in four or five cups of water; simmer until syrupy; strain. Next, put five or six tablespoonful of the syrup into a glass of warm water, along with a tablespoon of honey and a dash of lemon. Sip slowly.
