Treatment of Laryngitis
Symptomatic treatment (eg, cough suppressants, voice rest, hydration, steam inhalations) No specific treatment is available for viral laryngitis. Cough suppressants, voice rest, hydration, and steam inhalations relieve symptoms and promote resolution of acute laryngitis. Smoking cessation and treatment of acute or chronic bronchitis may relieve laryngitis. Depending on the presumed cause, specific treatments to control gastroesophageal reflux or drug-induced laryngitis may be beneficial.
