Hi Sharon,
Medications are rarely needed for laryngitis. However, depending on the cause of your laryngitis, your doctor may prescribe:
Antibiotics — for laryngitis resulting from a bacterial infection.
Antihistamines or inhaled steroids — for laryngitis resulting from allergies
Some herbs may help shorten the length of a cold or possibly lessen your chances of getting one (which might also help your throat if your laryngitis is due to a cold).
I would suggest taking a look at the link below for more detailed information on treatment options and avoiding certain risk factors that contribute to the laryngitis:

If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.
