Treatment. Most cases of laryngitis will clear up on their own by resting the voice. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Other simple home remedies to help heal laryngitis include gargling with salt water to soothe the throat and help reduce inflammation and using a humidifier. Throat candies and inhalers can also be soothing for sore throats. Also, try to avoid dry, smoky or dusty rooms which can aggravate laryngitis. Although rare, a form of bacterial laryngitis may occur in some people requiring antibiotics from a doctor. For those with a pressing need to speak, perhaps as part of their job, a doctor can prescribe corticosteroids to help reduce swelling in the vocal box.
