he following self-care steps may relieve the symptoms of laryngitis and reduce strain on your voice:
* Moisten your throat. Try sucking on lozenges, gargling with salt water or chewing a piece of gum.
* Use a humidifier. Keep the air throughout your home moist.
* Avoid talking or singing too loudly or for too long. If you need to speak before large groups, try to use a microphone or megaphone.
* Give your voice a break. Rest your voice when possible.
* Seek voice training. Consider this if you're a singer or if your voice quality is important.
* Avoid whispering. This puts even more strain on your voice than does normal speech.

rest your voice for 2-3 days. drink alot of clear liquids. carbonated drinks and caffeine and alcohol might irritate your throat more. gargle with salt water. it just takes a little time to get better.

Give it time, avoid drinking coffee or alcohol (they will irritate it worse), and try not to talk loudly. It should heal in a few more days.

Drink something warm..preferably Tea..because..your vocal cords are probably just irritated.
