A member asked:

How long will my voice remain hoarse since i have the flu? i can only whisper. i have the flu for 8 days and hoarseness for 2 days now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laryngitis can: take 2 weeks to resolve. Voice rest, humidification of air, and time, are only remedies. If it persists more than 2 weeks, see an ENT specialist.
