Rest your voice, don't talk for a day or two. Drink soothing drinks like tea with lemon and honey. Keep your mouth moist with cough drops,or hard tack candy.

The best treatment for the most common cause, a virus, is to rest your voice as much as possible and avoid clearing your throat. If an inhaled irritant is to blame, avoid the irritant. It may also help to inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or warm shower.
For chronic laryngitis associated with other conditions, such as heartburn, smoking or alcoholism, managing the underlying condition is necessary for improvement.
If you smoke, stop. In addition, if you're a smoker and develop persistent hoarseness, see your doctor and get a thorough examination of your vocal cords to be sure cancer isn't present. Detected early, cancer of the larynx generally can be successfully treated with surgery or radiation.
If alcohol consumption is responsible for your laryngitis, stop drinking. If you can't voluntarily give up alcohol, get treatment to help.

Time and rest. The honey and lemon tea, salt water gargles, all of that will help to soothe the inflammation, but you simply need to heal.
