So my dr says I have laryengitis since I am losing my voice and have a sore throat but now I see what appears to be swollen taste buds towards the back of my tongue. Are the two things connected and how long till I am back to normal I also started coughing a lot today and had a runny nose is this a sign I am getting worse?
Hi, Relax, Laryngitis is pretty common and easy to deal with! Symptoms for laryngitis include 1. Cold2. Cough3. Sore throat4. Fever5. Swollen glands in the neck6. Pain with swallowing7. A feeling of fullness in the throat or neck8. Runny nose9. Loss of voiceSwollen taste buds (but an actual throat examination may show this to be congested larynx/ swollen glands) may be associated with this. I would recommend you to have it checked again with your doctor to confirm the same. It usually takes 3-7 days to be back to normal. You can try salt water gargling thrice daily in the meantime.
