    Treatment
    Depending on the cause of the laryngitis, treatment can vary from resting the voice to treatments of a bacterial infection. Antibiotics are used to treat laryngitis cases caused by bacterial infections. Viral infections are not curable and have to run their course. Irritants cause some cases of laryngitis. These can include - talking or shouting excessively, cigarette smoking, chemical fumes. The best treatment in these cases is to rest the voice and avoid all irritants.

    The following gargles may be beneficial:
    Laryngitis gargle: Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), sage (Salvia officinalis), and marigold (Calendula officinalis) are soothing and anti-inflammatory herbs.
    Antimicrobial gargle: Coneflower, goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and myrrh (Commiphora molmol) are antibacterial and immune-stimulating herbs.
    Pain relief gargle: Propolis, peppermint (Mentha piperita), and ginger (Zingiber officinalis) are antimicrobial and anodyne herbs.
    General recommendations:
    Rest your voice
    Avoid irritants such as smoke, chemicals or dry air
    Drink plenty of fluids.
