I'd like to know if there's anything I can do before I go back. And is it normal that it takes so long to come back?
35-year-old woman
Hello, I had laryngitis almost 2 months ago but my voice is still not back to 100%. I still feel that my voice is tired as if I had a "cat in the throat" but no pain, I don't cough or blow my nose. The lozenges do not have any effect, I already drink a lot of water (more than 2L per day). The doctor had not prescribed any medication and mentioned that it could take 2-3 weeks to come back but I had to be patient.

Good morning, Madam,
In pharmacies, there is generally an over-the-counter product called Neo-Laryngobis for voice loss. However, generally, if the voice is still hoarse or not restored after 2-3 weeks, you can consult a doctor for a more in-depth evaluation.
Here are some non-pharmacological measures:
- Drink plenty of water
- Increasing the humidity in your environment
- Take honey to soothe the throat
Hopefully this answers your question,
