What is Laryngitis?
Inflammation of the larynx, i.e. voice box, is referred to as laryngitis. Laryngitis is caused by infection – viral, bacterial or fungal. Overuse of the voice, allergies, acid reflux disease, smoking and alcohol intake are some other causes. Laryngitis can be acute or chronic. Short term laryngitis of less than 3 weeks’ duration is termed as acute laryngitis. Laryngitis which has lasted more than 3 weeks is termed long term or chronic laryngitis.
Symptoms of Laryngitis
A major symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness of the voice. Other symptoms are dry/sore/raw throat, cough, difficulty swallowing, need to repeatedly clear the throat.

Hi Sir, I have been dealing with laryngitis for sometime now. About 3 months ago, It first started with some loud singing around the house. A couple days later I started to experience some horseness. I didn’t pay to much attention to my voice, just thought it was a lose of voice and it would go away. I work in sales and this doesn’t help. Sometime passed by and the horseness got better. Now It’s got worse because Been experiencing a dry throat, pain, burning in the throat, cough, trouble swallowing. It gets worse in environments with too much air it seems like. This is been going on for a very long time and I haven’t found a cure yet. I think it’s gotten to that chronic stage and now it’s hard to control and interferes my daily activities. I would appreciate thoughts and advice. Thank you
