Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Don't smoke, and avoid secondhand smoke too. Smoke can dry out your throat and inflame your vocal cords.
Step2
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Fluids help thin the mucus in your throat, preventing the need to clear it.
Step3
Keep away from alcohol and caffeine.
Step4
Avoid clearing your throat, which can irritate your throat and cause swelling of the vocal cords.
Step5
Don't overuse your voice by shouting or singing loudly.
Step6
Stay away from sick people. Many cases of laryngitis are caused by infection, so practice good hygiene by washing your hands frequently.
