getting sick over and over again with a sore throat may be a sign you need your tonsils taken out. Go see a doctor the next time you're sick and have him look at your throat.

my mum has had larygitis before and its not really gone away, she had it ages ago! it probably has weakened your immune system and made you susceptable to cold and flu!
it wont make it any better if you are around smoke either, just rest, drink lots of water and take cold and flu beechams capsules. hope i helped xx

The fact that your parents smoke may just be making your laryngitis worse..You may want to go to the doctor again or stay at a relatives house who doesnt smoke. Hope this helps! :)

It possibly can be but actually your immune system could be weak. Because getting sick often tells you that your immune system is weakening, which means lack of nutrients (especially vitamins C, E, and A) all can help your immune system. And a lot of illnesses are spreading around during this time of year so you should not worry unless your symptoms are re-occuring several times a month, your symptoms are worsening within a 7-day period, or if you are getting the same symptoms endlessly for 2 weeks, then you should go to see a Doctor. He/she might put you on antibiotics and flu/cold relief medicine.
But your symptoms just sound like you are getting Laryngitis again. But like I said, if this is going consistent or worsening, then you should worry.
Hope I helped =]
