What is Laryngitis?

Laryngitis is a condition where the larynx (voice box) becomes inflamed due to infection, overuse, or irritants like smoke or allergens. This inflammation affects the vocal cords, causing voice changes such as hoarseness or complete voice loss. It may be acute, lasting for a few days, or chronic if symptoms persist for more than three weeks. Laryngitis is commonly associated with respiratory infections or vocal strain. While often temporary, timely medical attention ensures it doesn’t lead to complications.

Symptoms of Laryngitis

The most common symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness or a weak voice. Other signs include a sore or scratchy throat, dry cough, difficulty speaking, and tickling in the throat. Some people also experience fever, swollen lymph nodes, or difficulty swallowing if an infection is present. In chronic cases, symptoms may persist or return frequently. Voice fatigue and frequent throat clearing are also associated with laryngitis. These symptoms often worsen with continued talking or singing without proper vocal rest.

Causes to Laryngitis

Laryngitis can stem from several causes, including viral infections like the cold or flu, excessive voice use (yelling or singing), allergies, smoking, or exposure to irritants. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can also trigger chronic laryngitis due to stomach acids irritating the vocal cords. Bacterial infections, though rare, can sometimes cause it. Environmental pollutants and alcohol consumption are also contributing factors. Understanding the root cause is crucial for proper treatment and recovery, especially in chronic or recurring cases of voice hoarseness

Diagnosis for the Laryngitis

Diagnosis begins with a clinical evaluation by an ENT specialist who checks symptoms like voice hoarseness and throat pain. The doctor may use a laryngoscope to visually inspect the vocal cords and rule out nodules, polyps, or lesions. Additional tests may include a throat culture, blood tests, or imaging if the condition is persistent. In chronic cases, voice recording and stroboscopy can assess vocal cord vibration. Identifying the cause whether viral, bacterial, or due to acid reflux is key to determining effective treatment.

Treatment for Laryngitis

Treatment depends on the cause. For viral laryngitis, rest and hydration are key—antibiotics are not effective for viruses. Voice rest, steam inhalation, and avoiding irritants like smoke or alcohol are recommended. If due to GERD, acid-reducing medications help. Chronic cases might require speech therapy, lifestyle changes, or treatment for underlying issues. Bacterial infections may need antibiotics. Anti-inflammatory drugs, lozenges, and humidifiers can relieve discomfort. For singers or speakers, voice therapy can help recover vocal strength safely and efficiently.
