Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

It seems you have a laryngitis-like upper respiratory tract infection. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Take a short-term steroid course in low doses for five days.

2. Take a tablet of vitamin C 500 milligrams twice daily for five days.

3. Take one teaspoon of turmeric powder with milk daily.

4. Avoid intake of excess spicy foods.

5. Do steam inhalation with warm water thrice daily.

6. Do gargles with salt-added lukewarm water.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
