Humidifier
Installing a humidifier at home is an easy and effective way of alleviating laryngitis symptoms. However, the lack of humidity can be unhealthy for the vocal cords. Therefore, it is crucial to keep the vocal cords moisturized in various ways, including increased fluid intake and indoor humidity levels.
There are two types of humidifiers on the market. Cool mist humidifiers are ideal for warmer climates as they can help cool down indoor spaces. As the air can only absorb so much water, the humidity levels will only reach a certain point to prevent over-humidification. A warm mist humidifier is ideal for a cooler climate as they add warmth to indoor spaces. This device works by boiling water until steam is finally released into the air. Both humidifiers effectively relieve dry vocal cords, coughing, and congestion in individuals with laryngitis.
Choosing the best humidifier will depend on one’s lifestyle and personal preferences. There are compact humidifiers that are ideal for individuals who constantly travel. Mid-sized humidifiers are perfect for small spaces, including studio units and bedrooms.
