The best thing you can do is not use your voice unless you absolutely have to.  Most laryngitis is caused by a combo of overuse and the common cold.  I would follow some home remedies for a cold to support your immune system:

Most importantly though get those Thayers Slippery Elm Lozenges in the pink box at the health food store.  The slippery elm coats the throat and reduces the irriation and inflammation.  

Of course you can do the standard lemon with honey to keep your throat coated and moisturized to as the irriated overworked vocal chords recover.

I have hear that some singers gargle with olive oil, which would make sense as olive oil coats and is anti-inflam as well.
