The main symptom is a hoarse voice. Symptoms range from mild to complete loss of voice. There may also be some pain in speaking or swallowing. The causes include infection, overuse of the voice, inhaling smoke or fumes, or a tumor in the throat. A common cold or flu can sometimes spread to the vocal cords. Other infections include tuberculosis, bronchitis, or sinusitis. Viruses that tend to cause croup in children may cause laryngitis in adults. Excessive use of the voice is common in certain jobs, such as teaching or public speaking. It can also result from cheering at sports events, singing, or shouting. Causes of chronic laryngitis include: other chronic disorders, such as allergies or sinusitis

What People Are Saying... Subscriber to the HON code principles of the Health on the Net Foundation Living with Laryngitis As winter approaches, more of us will be susceptible to colds and upper respiratory infections. One problem in particular, laryngitis, is a common symptom of these type of infections. Common sense in preventing these type of infections may ensure a safe and healthy holiday season. Laryngitis describes an inflammation of the larynx, commonly known as the "voice box". Air passing through the vocal cords allow us to speak, and inflammation of this area causes our voices to seem strained or hoarse. There are two types of laryngitis, acute (lasting days to weeks) and chronic (lasting months). Acute laryngitis is usually due to a viral or bacterial infection. Yelling or screaming also causes throat irritation and hoarseness. Chronic laryngitis is due to a prolonged hoarseness of the throat and may be due to a number of problems. Common causes of chronic laryngitis include: · Smoking · Chronic cough · Chemical exposure (e.g. dust and pollen)

89. DoctorYourself.com - Laryngitis Nearmiracles for the motormouth! Four effective, natural methodsto prevent laryngitis. laryngitis. laryngitis Home, My Dad used http://www.doctoryourself.com/laryngitis.html

Laryngitis Laryngitis Home My Dad used to say that learned to talk early and haven't shut up since. Not exactly: I've had laryngitis enough times to look into and find some simple and reliable cures. Here they are: 1. Saturation, or bowel tolerance, of vitamin C will stop laryngitis in a matter of hours. If you take as much "C" as you can hold, as often as humanly possible, your voice will be back promptly. People who take multi-gram doses of vitamin C every day preventively are unlikely to ever lose their voice in the first place. When I do weekend seminars, I am speaking for six consecutive hours on two consecutive days. I take about three grams (3,000 milligrams) every hour, and don't lose my voice anymore. 2. The homeopathic remedy Ferrum Phos 6X works for loss of voice due either to overstraining or simple inflammation. This remedy works best taken promptly, preferably as soon as you notice the slightest huskiness or hoarseness. A homeopathic remedy is taken until the symptoms begin to improve. Then Mother Nature takes over and you body heals itself. 3. An ounce or two of cider vinegar, straight, will do wonders for a simple sore throat and laryngitis. When I do this, I get the impression that the vinegar is absorbed into the throat on the way down and never even reaches the stomach. If you immediately, and I mean immediately follow the vinegar with a chaser of a cola soft drink, you will barely taste the vinegar at all. Be sure to rinse your mouth with water afterwards, to remove any lingering acidity from either the vinegar or the cola. If your stomach is delicate, taking a calcium supplement along with the vinegar will buffer it in the tummy.

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.

Medical Library Cool Tools Women's Health Men's Health ... Drug Dictionary You are here: Home Laryngitis Related topics: Tonsil and Adenoid Surgery Carson-DeWitt, Rosalyn S. Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources 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).

The most common form of laryngitis is an infectious illness usually caused by a virus which results in hoarseness.

Other feminists, however, will have a harder time explaining their stammering and mostly inaudible performance during Week I of Presidential Sex Crisis III. Patricia Schroeder and Bella Abzug came up with tortured, self-canceling meditations on sexual harassment vs. good, wholesome, consensual sexual relationships. The National Organization for Women issued a touching call for public officials to pledge they would reject "the aphrodisiac of power" and forswear sexual contact with their office help. Apparently no one had explained to the team at NOW that the very essence of adultery is the breaking of pledges once made in good faith to nice, trusting women like themselves.
