What causes layrngitis and is there any good way to get rid of it sooner than just resting your voice?

Question:

I think my allergies started the whole thing and I havent been able to really talk for about four days now.

Answers:
I had laryngitis a couple of times. It could be caused by allergies, cold or flu. But could also be where you have strained your vocal chords. That is what happened to me. I had it so bad a couple of years ago that all you could hear when I spoke was a faint whisper. I had a singing competition in 2 days and someone(a nurse I worked with) told me to try horehound candy. I went to crackle barrel and bought a couple of sticks. It really worked. I was better and came in 2nd in the competition. Try it. It tastes okay, and it is like 10 cents a stick.

Try gargling with hot salt water. Make the water as hot as you can stand and put in about 5 teaspoons salt per cup...gargle but do not swallow. It's nasty but it works.
