Laryngitis
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or temporary complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Dysphonia is the medical term for a vocal disorder, of which laryngitis is one cause.
Laryngitis is categorised as acute if it lasts less than three weeks and chronic if it last over three weeks. The chronic form occurs mostly in middle age and is much more common in men than women. Antibiotics do not appear to be very useful in the acute form.
Signs and symptoms
In early stages, erythema (reddening) and edema of epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoids and ventricular folds occurs. In late stages, the vocal folds and subglottic structures are also involved. There are sticky secretions between cords and in interarytenoid region. Sometimes, submucous hemorrhage is seen, especially in case of vocal abuse. Acute membranous laryngitis, a condition resembling acute membranous tonsillitis, is caused by pyogenic nonspecific organisms. It has to be differentiated from laryngeal diphtheria. In some cases tightening of the chest may be present due to COPD or other relevant breathing disorder.

Laryngitis (Glee)
"Laryngitis" is the eighteenth episode of the American television series Glee. The episode premiered on the Fox network on May 11, 2010. It was directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and written by series creator Ryan Murphy. In "Laryngitis", glee club member Puck (Mark Salling) dates Mercedes (Amber Riley) in an attempt to raise his social status. Kurt (Chris Colfer) is jealous of the time his father is spending with Finn (Cory Monteith), and Rachel (Lea Michele) worries about her future when she is diagnosed with tonsillitis. Mike O'Malley guest-stars as Kurt's father Burt, and Zack Weinstein appears as disabled former football player Sean Fretthold.
The episode features cover versions of seven songs, five of which were released as singles, available for digital download, and three of which are included on the soundtrack album Glee: The Music, Volume 3 – Showstoppers. "Laryngitis" was watched by 11.57 million American viewers and received mixed reviews from critics. Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club, Bobby Hankinson of the Houston Chronicle, Vanity Fair's Brett Berk and James Poniewozik of Time all enjoyed the episode, noting that it came after several lesser-quality episodes since the show's return from its mid-season break. In contrast, Lisa Respers France of CNN felt that "Laryngitis" was lecturing in tone, and more sad than it was comedic. Henrik Batallones of BuddyTV and Entertainment Weekly's Darren Franich both expressed concern with the disability plot, the former finding it forced and the latter questioning whether Glee honors its disabled actors, or uses them shamelessly.

Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx (voice box).[1] Symptoms often include a hoarse voice and may include fever, cough, pain in the front of the neck, and trouble swallowing.[1][2] Typically, these last under two weeks.[1]
Laryngitis is categorised as acute if it lasts less than three weeks and chronic if symptoms last more than three weeks.[1] Acute cases usually occur as part of a viral upper respiratory tract infection,[1] other infections and trauma such as from coughing are other causes.[1] Chronic cases may occur due to smoking, tuberculosis, allergies, acid reflux, rheumatoid arthritis, or sarcoidosis.[1][3] The underlying mechanism involves irritation of the vocal cords.[2]
Concerning signs that may require further investigation include stridor, history of radiation therapy to the neck, trouble swallowing, duration of more than three weeks, and a history of smoking.[1] If concerning signs are present the vocal cords should be examined via laryngoscopy.[1] Other conditions that can produce similar symptoms include epiglottitis, croup, inhaling a foreign body, and laryngeal cancer.[1][4]
The acute form generally resolves without specific treatment.[1] Resting the voice and sufficient fluids may help.[1] Antibiotics generally do not appear to be useful in the acute form.[5] The acute form is common while the chronic form is not.[1] The chronic form occurs most often in middle age and is more common in men than women.[6] The primary symptom of laryngitis is a hoarse voice.[7]: 108 Because laryngitis can have various causes, other signs and symptoms may vary.[8] They can include
Dry or sore throat
Coughing (both a causal factor and a symptom of laryngitis)
Frequent throat clearing
Increased saliva production
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx (discomfort in the front of the neck)
Globus pharyngeus (feeling like there is a lump in the throat)
Cold or flu-like symptoms (which, like a cough, may also be a causal factor for laryngitis)
Swollen lymph nodes in the throat, chest, or face
Fever
General muscle pain (myalgia)
Shortness of breath, predominantly in children

Laryngitis—inflammation of the larynx and surrounding structures.
The larynx, also known as the voice box, is a structure located at the top of the trachea and contains the vocal cords, two folds of tissue that vibrate to produce sound when we speak or sing.
When the larynx is inflamed, can lead to hoarseness, change in the sound of the voice, or loss of voice.
Symptoms:
The main symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness.
Breathy voice, sometimes progressing to a complete loss of voice.
It can be associated with dry cough and throat pain;
patients often feel a need to clear their throats.
Causes:
Viral infections
The most common cause of laryngitis is a viral infection, such as the common cold or flu. In children, the parainfluenza virus can cause croup, or laryngotracheobronchitis, which causes a “barking” cough.
Bacterial infection also can cause laryngitis, but usually, it is the complication of viral infection, occurring after 7 days of illness.
Overuse of the voice:
Using the voice excessively or improperly can lead to laryngitis. This is commonly seen in singers, actors, and other individuals who rely on their voices for their work, e.g., due to yelling, screaming, or loud singing.
Acid reflux:
Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, can cause laryngitis by causing acid from the stomach to flow back into the esophagus and irritate the larynx.
Fungal infection is rare but occurs in immunosuppressed patients or those treated with antibacterial medications.
Smokers are at elevated risk for malignancy and other infections.
Diagnosis is based on Symptoms, Indirect examination with a mirror or flexible laryngoscopy usually shows erythema and edema of the vocal cords and surrounding structures.
Treatment:
Laryngitis is generally self-limited, usually lasting 3–7 days, sometimes up to 2 weeks.
Vocal rest is crucial.
Airway humidification and hydration is important.
If laryngitis is caused by acid reflux, anti-reflux medication is recommended.
Generally, antibiotics aren’t effective in decreasing objective symptoms of laryngitis.
Red flags for emergency evaluation and monitoring include
Red flags include shortness of breath, stridor, dysphagia, and odynophagia.
A history of smoking or unexplained weight loss should raise suspicion of malignancy. Symptoms lasting more then 3 weeks should prompt referral to an otolaryngologist or speech specialist.

The larynx, also known as the voice box, is a structure located at the top of the trachea and contains the vocal cords, two folds of tissue that vibrate to produce sound when we speak or sing.
When the larynx is inflamed, can lead to hoarseness, change in the sound of the voice, or loss of voice.
Symptoms:
The main symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness.
Breathy voice, sometimes progressing to a complete loss of voice.
It can be associated with dry cough and throat pain;
patients often feel a need to clear their throats.
Causes:
Viral infections
The most common cause of laryngitis is a viral infection, such as the common cold or flu. In children, the parainfluenza virus can cause croup, or laryngotracheobronchitis, which causes a “barking” cough.
Bacterial infection also can cause laryngitis, but usually, it is the complication of viral infection, occurring after 7 days of illness.
Overuse of the voice:
Using the voice excessively or improperly can lead to laryngitis. This is commonly seen in singers, actors, and other individuals who rely on their voices for their work, e.g., due to yelling, screaming, or loud singing.
Acid reflux:
Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, can cause laryngitis by causing acid from the stomach to flow back into the esophagus and irritate the larynx.
Fungal infection is rare but occurs in immunosuppressed patients or those treated with antibacterial medications.
Smokers are at elevated risk for malignancy and other infections.
Diagnosis is based on Symptoms, Indirect examination with a mirror or flexible laryngoscopy usually shows erythema and edema of the vocal cords and surrounding structures.
Treatment:
Laryngitis is generally self-limited, usually lasting 3–7 days, sometimes up to 2 weeks.
Vocal rest is crucial.
Airway humidification and hydration is important.
If laryngitis is caused by acid reflux, anti-reflux medication is recommended.
Generally, antibiotics aren’t effective in decreasing objective symptoms of laryngitis.
Red flags for emergency evaluation and monitoring include
Red flags include shortness of breath, stridor, dysphagia, and odynophagia.
A history of smoking or unexplained weight loss should raise suspicion of malignancy. Symptoms lasting more then 3 weeks should prompt referral to an otolaryngologist or speech specialist.

Laryngitis occurs when your voice box or vocal cords become inflamed from overuse, irritation, or infection. Laryngitis can be acute (short-term), lasting less than three weeks. Or it can be chronic (long-term), lasting more than three weeks.
Many conditions can cause the inflammation that results in laryngitis. Viral infections, environmental factors, and bacterial infections can all cause laryngitis.
-------------------------------------------------------
What causes laryngitis?
Acute laryngitis
Acute laryngitis is a temporary condition caused by overusing the vocal cords. It can also be caused by an infection. Treating the underlying condition causes the laryngitis to go away. Acute laryngitis can be caused by:
viral infections
straining your vocal cords by talking or yelling
bacterial infections
drinking too much alcohol
Chronic laryngitis
Chronic laryngitis results from long-term exposure to irritants. It’s usually more severe and has longer-lasting effects than acute laryngitis.
Chronic laryngitis can be caused by:
frequent exposure to harmful chemicals or allergens
acid reflux
frequent sinus infections
smoking or being around smokers
overusing your voice
low-grade yeast infections caused by frequent use of an asthma inhaler
Cancer, paralysis of the vocal cords, or changes in vocal cord shape as you age can also cause persistent hoarseness and sore throats.
----------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms of laryngitis:
The most common symptoms of laryngitis include:
weakened voice
loss of voice
hoarse, dry throat
constant tickling or minor throat irritation
dry cough
These symptoms are usually mild and can be treated by giving your voice a break. Drinking water or other noncaffeinated fluids can help lubricate your throat.
Laryngitis in infants and children:
Infants and children can be prone to laryngitis if they’re frequently around other children. Both viral and bacterial infections can spread quickly from child to child. Laryngitis can also develop if your child yells or sings a lot. This causes bumps to form on their vocal cords.
If you notice your child’s voice is hoarse or weak or they say that their throat hurts, make sure they rest their voice. Also, have them drink fluids to ease possible viral laryngitis. Laryngitis usually goes away within two weeks.
If your child’s symptoms don’t improve or become worse, take them to a doctor. A doctor can determine if other factors are causing the laryngitis or if antibiotics for a bacterial infection are needed.
Epiglottitis
Certain symptoms could also indicate your child has a serious bacterial infection around the voice box, called the epiglottis. The epiglottis is the flap of tissue that covers the larynx (voice box) and trachea (breathing tube) when you eat or drink. It keeps food particles and liquid out of your lungs.
Epiglottitis is an infection of the epiglottis and the tissue around it. During epiglottitis, tissue swells to the point that it can close off the windpipe.
Epiglottitis can be fatal if not treated. See a doctor right away if your child has:
trouble swallowing
problems breathing, such as needing to lean forward in order to breathe
extra saliva
noisy, high-pitched sounds when breathing
a muffled voice
a fever
Typically, your child will require a hospital stay to receive treatment. Your child will be given IV antibiotics and often glucocorticoids or dexamethasone.
Epiglottitis mostly affects children ages 2 to 6 years old. But a child of any age, or adult, can be affected. The Hib vaccine protects children from the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae type b. The vaccine has helped reduce the number of cases of epiglottitis caused by these bacteria.
When to see a doctor
You could also have common symptoms that mean you have a condition similar to laryngitis, including:
lesions such as ulcers, cysts, or nodules on your vocal cords
muscle tension dysphonia, a vocal condition caused by abnormal use of the vocal muscles
vocal cord paralysis
Some symptoms can be serious or indicate underlying issues. These symptoms include:
trouble swallowing
coughing up blood
a fever that doesn’t go away with treatment
debilitating pain in your throat
See your doctor if common symptoms don’t clear up after a week, or they worsen.

Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx (voice box).[1] Symptoms often include a hoarse voice and may include fever, cough, pain in the front of the neck, and trouble swallowing.[1][2] Typically, these last under two weeks.[1]
Laryngitis is categorised as acute if it lasts less than three weeks and chronic if symptoms last more than three weeks.[1] Acute cases usually occur as part of a viral upper respiratory tract infection,[1] other infections and trauma such as from coughing are other causes.[1] Chronic cases may occur due to smoking, tuberculosis, allergies, acid reflux, rheumatoid arthritis, or sarcoidosis.[1][3] The underlying mechanism involves irritation of the vocal cords.[2]
Concerning signs that may require further investigation include stridor, history of radiation therapy to the neck, trouble swallowing, duration of more than three weeks, and a history of smoking.[1] If concerning signs are present the vocal cords should be examined via laryngoscopy.[1] Other conditions that can produce similar symptoms include epiglottitis, croup, inhaling a foreign body, and laryngeal cancer.[1][4]
The acute form generally resolves without specific treatment.[1] Resting the voice and sufficient fluids may help.[1] Antibiotics generally do not appear to be useful in the acute form.[5] The acute form is common while the chronic form is not.[1] The chronic form occurs most often in middle age and is more common in men than women.[6] The primary symptom of laryngitis is a hoarse voice.[7]: 108 Because laryngitis can have various causes, other signs and symptoms may vary.[8] They can include
Dry or sore throat
Coughing (both a causal factor and a symptom of laryngitis)
Frequent throat clearing
Increased saliva production
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx (discomfort in the front of the neck)
Globus pharyngeus (feeling like there is a lump in the throat)
Cold or flu-like symptoms (which, like a cough, may also be a causal factor for laryngitis)
Swollen lymph nodes in the throat, chest, or face
Fever
General muscle pain (myalgia)
Shortness of breath, predominantly in children

Laryngitis is the most common cause of a hoarse voice. It is usually a viral infection of the vocal cords. The infection makes your vocal cords swell up and become stiff, so that that they don't vibrate normally. Hoarsness from laryngitis lasts for about 10-14 days. The best treatment is to rest your voice as much as possible. To help you throat feel better, you can try drinking warm drinks, use a steam inhaler and take simple pain killers like Paracetamol (called Acetaminophen in some countries).
Since Laryngitis is most commonly a viral infection, antibiotics don't help but can cause unnecessary side effects. In some cases, Laryngitis can be caused by a bacterial infection and you may require antibiotics. You should see your doctor if you have high fevers and chills or severe pain in your throat. Also, you should see your doctor if your hoarse voice isn't getting better even after 3 or 4 weeks. Some causes of persisting hoarseness include acid reflux, vocal cord nodules and hypothyroidism.

Laryngitis occurs when your voice box or vocal cords become inflamed from overuse, irritation, or infection. Laryngitis can be acute (short-term), lasting less than three weeks. Or it can be chronic (long-term), lasting more than three weeks.
Many conditions can cause the inflammation that results in laryngitis. Viral infections, environmental factors, and bacterial infections can all cause laryngitis.
-------------------------------------------------------
What causes laryngitis?
Acute laryngitis
Acute laryngitis is a temporary condition caused by overusing the vocal cords. It can also be caused by an infection. Treating the underlying condition causes the laryngitis to go away. Acute laryngitis can be caused by:
viral infections
straining your vocal cords by talking or yelling
bacterial infections
drinking too much alcohol
Chronic laryngitis
Chronic laryngitis results from long-term exposure to irritants. It’s usually more severe and has longer-lasting effects than acute laryngitis.
Chronic laryngitis can be caused by:
frequent exposure to harmful chemicals or allergens
acid reflux
frequent sinus infections
smoking or being around smokers
overusing your voice
low-grade yeast infections caused by frequent use of an asthma inhaler
Cancer, paralysis of the vocal cords, or changes in vocal cord shape as you age can also cause persistent hoarseness and sore throats.
----------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms of laryngitis:
The most common symptoms of laryngitis include:
weakened voice
loss of voice
hoarse, dry throat
constant tickling or minor throat irritation
dry cough
These symptoms are usually mild and can be treated by giving your voice a break. Drinking water or other noncaffeinated fluids can help lubricate your throat.
Laryngitis in infants and children:
Infants and children can be prone to laryngitis if they’re frequently around other children. Both viral and bacterial infections can spread quickly from child to child. Laryngitis can also develop if your child yells or sings a lot. This causes bumps to form on their vocal cords.
If you notice your child’s voice is hoarse or weak or they say that their throat hurts, make sure they rest their voice. Also, have them drink fluids to ease possible viral laryngitis. Laryngitis usually goes away within two weeks.
If your child’s symptoms don’t improve or become worse, take them to a doctor. A doctor can determine if other factors are causing the laryngitis or if antibiotics for a bacterial infection are needed.
Epiglottitis
Certain symptoms could also indicate your child has a serious bacterial infection around the voice box, called the epiglottis. The epiglottis is the flap of tissue that covers the larynx (voice box) and trachea (breathing tube) when you eat or drink. It keeps food particles and liquid out of your lungs.
Epiglottitis is an infection of the epiglottis and the tissue around it. During epiglottitis, tissue swells to the point that it can close off the windpipe.
Epiglottitis can be fatal if not treated. See a doctor right away if your child has:
trouble swallowing
problems breathing, such as needing to lean forward in order to breathe
extra saliva
noisy, high-pitched sounds when breathing
a muffled voice
a fever
Typically, your child will require a hospital stay to receive treatment. Your child will be given IV antibiotics and often glucocorticoids or dexamethasone.
Epiglottitis mostly affects children ages 2 to 6 years old. But a child of any age, or adult, can be affected. The Hib vaccine protects children from the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae type b. The vaccine has helped reduce the number of cases of epiglottitis caused by these bacteria.
When to see a doctor
You could also have common symptoms that mean you have a condition similar to laryngitis, including:
lesions such as ulcers, cysts, or nodules on your vocal cords
muscle tension dysphonia, a vocal condition caused by abnormal use of the vocal muscles
vocal cord paralysis
Some symptoms can be serious or indicate underlying issues. These symptoms include:
trouble swallowing
coughing up blood
a fever that doesn’t go away with treatment
debilitating pain in your throat
See your doctor if common symptoms don’t clear up after a week, or they worsen.

Laryngitis
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or temporary complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Dysphonia is the medical term for a vocal disorder, of which laryngitis is one cause.
Laryngitis is categorised as acute if it lasts less than three weeks and chronic if it last over three weeks. The chronic form occurs mostly in middle age and is much more common in men than women. Antibiotics do not appear to be very useful in the acute form.
Signs and symptoms
In early stages, erythema (reddening) and edema of epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoids and ventricular folds occurs. In late stages, the vocal folds and subglottic structures are also involved. There are sticky secretions between cords and in interarytenoid region. Sometimes, submucous hemorrhage is seen, especially in case of vocal abuse. Acute membranous laryngitis, a condition resembling acute membranous tonsillitis, is caused by pyogenic nonspecific organisms. It has to be differentiated from laryngeal diphtheria. In some cases tightening of the chest may be present due to COPD or other relevant breathing disorder.
