Treatment of laryngitis.
Laryngitis should be understood as inflammation of the larynx that occurs against the background of a cold or an infection such as whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever. It is observed in children and adults. Mouth breathing, hypothermia and overstrain of the larynx are provoking factors. Smoking and frequent drinking are also the culprits of the pathological process.
Symptoms of laryngitis are represented by a feeling of dryness in the oral cavity, hoarseness of the voice and cough, pain during swallowing, headache and a slight increase in temperature. Official medicine suggests treating the disease with expectorant drugs, antitussive and anti-inflammatory drugs. The acute form often requires antibiotics. Folk doctors note that treating laryngitis at home with self-prepared drugs is equally effective.
Infusions
In the treatment of inflammation of the larynx, the use of plant infusions, according to representatives of traditional medicine, plays one of the main roles. Firstly, infusions help in increasing immunity. Secondly, they contribute to the elimination of the symptoms of the disease. The course usually lasts at least two weeks.
Mono Infusions

In the chronic form of nephritis, the infusion is not recommended.
2. With regular coughing and difficult sputum discharge, an infusion of coltsfoot is prepared. Fifteen grams of raw material are taken in half a cup of boiling water. Filter through a few hours. Use three times in seventy milliliters.
The infusion is contraindicated in liver diseases and can not be used by children under six years of age.
3. Two large tablespoons of oregano are poured into a mug of hot liquid and left for half an hour. After pressing, they begin treatment — one third of a cup up to 5 times a day. The recipe is especially recommended if atrophic laryngitis is diagnosed.
4. A tablespoon of nettle in a mug of boiling water is insisted for forty minutes. They consume the entire volume per day, making small sips and briefly holding the drink in the oral cavity.
