Consider seeing ENT: I haven't seen all your previous post, but if you have had a hoarse voice for more than two weeks(as it's not uncommon for laryngitis to last up to two week) then you should consider seeing an ear, nose, throat(ENT) doctor for a formal evaluation to better determine as to the cause of your symptoms. Good luck.

....: hi, viral laryngitis can take from 7-10 days. if you are still having symptoms then you may want to follow up with a healthcare provider to entertain a differential diagnosis.
