Laryngitis Laryngitis is usually due to a viral infection. You may become hoarse, but symptoms usually go within a week or so. See a doctor if symptoms persist. What is laryngitis? The larynx joins the back of the throat to the windpipe. The vocal cords are in the larynx. Laryngitis means inflammation of the larynx. It is usually due to a viral infection (viral laryngitis). What are the symptoms of viral laryngitis? You may feel sore over the 'Adams apple' and become hoarse shortly afterwards. The voice sometimes 'goes', and you may only be able to whisper. Some people are alarmed at this. However, it is only temporary whilst the vocal cords are inflamed during the infection. You may also have a mild fever, and a cough. Sometimes laryngitis is part of a more widespread infection. For example, you may also have an infected throat (pharyngitis), tonsillitis, a cold, or a flu-like illness. In these situations, you may also have other symptoms such as a sore throat, headache, feeling tired, swollen neck glands, runny nose, pain on swallowing, and general aches and pains. A typical viral laryngitis gets worse over 2-3 days. It then eases and goes, usually within a week. However, you may have a croaky voice for a week or so even after the other symptoms have gone. This is because the inflammation of the vocal cords may take a while to settle after the virus has gone.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Laryngitis Definition Laryngitis is caused by inflammation of the larynx, resulting in hoarseness of the voice. Description When air is breathed in (inspired), it passes through the nose and the nasopharynx or through the mouth and the oropharynx. These are both connected to the larynx, a tube made of cartilage. The vocal cords, responsible for setting up the vibrations necessary for speech, are located within the larynx. The air continues down the larynx to the trachea. The trachea then splits into two branches, the left and right bronchi (bronchial tubes). These bronchi branch into smaller air tubes which run within the lungs, leading to the small air sacs of the lungs (alveoli). Either food, liquid, or air may be taken in through the mouth. While air goes into the larynx and the respiratory system, food and liquid are directed into the tube leading to the stomach, the esophagus. Because food or liquid in the bronchial tubes or lungs could cause a blockage or lead to an infection, the airway must be protected. The epiglottis is a leaf-like piece of cartilage extending upwards from the larynx. The epiglottis can close down over the larynx when someone is eating or drinking, preventing these substances from entering the airway. In laryngitis, the tissues below the level of the epiglottis are swollen and inflamed. This causes swelling around the area of the vocal cords, so that they cannot vibrate normally. A hoarse sound to the voice is very characteristic of laryngitis. Laryngitis is a very common problem, and often occurs during the course of an upper respiratory tract infection (cold).

Laryngitis may also occur in bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, pertussis, measles, and diphtheria. Excessive use of the voice, allergic reactions, and inhaling irritating substances, such as cigarette smoke, can cause acute or chronic laryngitis. An unnatural change of voice is usually the most prominent symptom. Hoarseness and even aphonia, with a sensation of tickling, rawness, and a constant urge to clear the throat, may occur. Symptoms vary with the severity of the inflammation. Fever, malaise, dysphagia, and throat pain may occur in more severe infections; laryngeal edema, if present, may cause dyspnea. Indirect laryngoscopy discloses mild to marked erythema of the mucous membrane, which may also be edematous. If a membrane is present, diphtheria must be suspected (see Diphtheria under Bacterial Infections in Ch. 265).

Laryngitis With laryngitis the voice box and the area around it become irritated and swollen. When you have the condition you will find your voice changing. You may find yourself unable to speak above a whisper or even lose your voice entirely for a few days. Laryngitis rarely causes serious trouble in adults. But it can cause complications in children—notably croup a swelling of the throat that makes it seem as if a child has something caught in his or her throat. Signs and Symptoms An unnatural change in your voice Hoarseness Loss of your voice Tickling scratchiness and rawness in your throat A constant urge to clear your throat Fever general feeling of lethargy and tiredness and difficulty breathing mark more severe cases What Causes It? Viruses or bacteria infect the larynx or voice box and cause it to swell. That produces irritation and soreness and changes the voice making you sound hoarse and unable to speak above a whisper or even causing you to lose your voice entirely for a few days. Often the virus comes from another ailment such as a cold the flu or bronchitis. Overuse of your voice by screaming or shouting for long periods can worsen the irritation and swelling produced by the infection. Smokers and people who work around fumes to which they are allergic often have chronic laryngitis. What to Expect at Your Provider's Office Your health care provider will examine your throat and take a culture if it looks red. Your provider will also use a device that looks like a dentist's mirror to examine your throat and larynx. This procedure called indirect laryngoscopy enables him or her to check for swelling.

Your Account Log In Help All Areas Products Drug Info General Site Laryngitis What Is Laryngitis? Laryngitis is an inflammation of your voice box (larynx) due to overuse, irritation or respiratory infection. The larynx is a framework of cartilage, muscle and mucous membrane that forms the entrance of your windpipe (trachea). Inside the larynx are your vocal cords — two folds of mucous membrane covering muscle and cartilage. Normally, your vocal cords open and close smoothly, forming sounds through their movement and vibration. But when air escapes between the cords when it's not supposed to, your voice sounds breathy, raspy and hoarse. The sound may be due to a weak or slightly paralyzed vocal cord on one side; polyps, which are small, soft growths; or nodules, which are harder growths. Laryngitis occurs in two forms: acute and chronic. Although acute laryngitis usually is nothing more than an irritation, persistent hoarseness can signal a more serious problem.
