well went to dr today, unfortunately saw sam dr i saw on monday in ER. AN IDIOT! Still claims it is just laryengitis, did do strep test at my request. Not strep though. I know that talking is not good, but have been having to talk. Dr wants me to see Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, so apparently he thinks it could be something more, but wont give me the time of day.
SO I am really frustrated....this afternoon my voice is better, but the throat still kills,

Signs and symptoms:
Laryngitis often makes you feel the need to constantly clear your throat.

Other signs and symptoms may include:
1 - Hoarseness
2 - Weak voice
3 - Tickling sensation and rawness of your throat
4 - Sore throat
5 - Dry throat
6 - Dry cough

Treatment:
Treatment depends on the cause of the laryngitis...
The best treatment for the most common cause, a virus, is to rest your voice as much as possible and avoid clearing your throat.
If an inhaled irritant is to blame, avoid the irritant. It may also help to inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or warm shower.
