Laryngitis

[AmyJane1508]

For those who have had Laryngitis before how long did it take before your voice returned to normal? When I say normal I mean in that you could speak without your voice croaking. It's been a week today for me. I've rested my voice as much as possible and thought it was coming back. I can talk now but it is still very croaky and doesn't sound like my voice still.

I am a singer so always have it! That's normal it's just a case of the vocal chords still ring a bit inflamed, lots of fluids and rest xx

Hi Hopefulmi, thank you very much. This is the first time I've lost my voice. I'm not a singer (I'm actually tone deaf haha) but I've had a nasty viral infection. I think it just concerned me as I still sound completely strange after a week. My collar bone and the front of my neck also feel slightly tingly. Don't know if that's related or not

It could be. Acute laryngitis can drag on especially if you have been run down. Another week or two and you should be fine x
