Chronic laryngitis can be treated only by medications. You need to give voice rest, drinks frequent sips of water, take steam inhalation and do voice relaxation exercises. Along with that you may need to take anti reflux medications.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and also consult voice therapist who can help you to overcome this issue
