Laryngitis Follow-up

  • If the person has received a prescription, it must be filled right away and the affected individual must take all of the medicine, as instructed. In order to properly treat the illness and prevent a recurrence the person must not cut treatment short after feeling better.
  • The affected person should try to rest the voice as much as possible, be aggressive about rehydration and drinking liquids, and avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke.
  • The person should always report to a doctor if he or she has a worsening of symptoms or high fever.
  • If the person has any trouble breathing or feel as if the throat is closing, then he or she should go to the emergency department. Use 911 emergency services if indicated.
