Extractions: Laryngitis, an inflammation in the vocal cords in the larynx, has many causes. Laryngitis is characterized by a weak, hoarse, gravely voice, sore throat, often fever, cough (usually dry and nonproductive), a tickling in the back of the throat, and difficulty swallowing. The most common cause is a viral infection. Usually, laryngitis is self-limiting. However, children's croup (see croup on the Pediatrics Page ) or acute epiglottitis can present like laryngitis. Laryngitis is often irritative in nature. Singers, politicians, auctioneers, and cheerleaders sometimes loose their voices as a result of their activities. For most of us, cheering at a game is a common cause of this condition. Young children get the same thing, most commonly from strenuous crying or shouting while playing.

When they become inflamed or infected, they swell. This can cause hoarseness , and may occasionally cause obstruction of the airway. The most common form of laryngitis is an infectious illness usually caused by a virus which results in hoarseness. It may also be part of a bacterial infection or part of a common cold bronchitis flu , or pneumonia Laryngitis often follows or occurs during an upper respiratory infection and is a self-limiting condition.

Extractions: Laryngitis What is Laryngitis? Laryngitis (lah-rin-JITE-is) is a common medical condition that can cause you to become hoarse or temporarily lose your voice. Laryngitis may be acute or chronic. Acute laryngitis is caused by a bacterial or viral infection of the larynx, or voice box. It may be difficult to swallow and you may develop a cough, a tickling or rough sensation in the throat. Acute laryngitis can follow a number of illnesses such as tonsillitis bronchitis , pneumonia and flu . When caused by a bacterial infection, treatment may include an antibiotic and complete voice rest. Drinking plenty of fluids and using medicated throat lozenges may also help. Chronic laryngitis shares some of the same symptoms of the acute form, but it is caused by irritation or overuse of the voice. Smoking, drinking alcohol or excessive use of the voice can cause it to occur. Chronic laryngitis is usually treated by complete voice rest, steam inhalations and avoiding irritants such as cigarette smoke and alcohol. When should I see a doctor?

Extractions: Laryngitis Advertising Laryngitis (LAIR-in-JIE-tis) is an irritation and swelling of the voice box and the area around it. It may cause your voice to change, or you may lose your voice entirely for a short while. The problem is most common in late fall, winter, or early spring. With or without treatment, you should be well in 7 to 14 days. Laryngitis is usually caused by a virus or by bacteria. People who smoke, have allergies, or strain their voices by yelling, talking, or singing may also come down with the problem. The classic symptoms are a hoarse, low voice, and a scratchy throat. You also might lose your voice, develop a sore throat, come down with a fever, feel you have a lump in your throat, or feel very tired. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to treat any infection.

Extractions: Question: I've had troubles speaking for the past few months. Very strained voice, voice breaks, not enough breath to finish sentence, chest hurts if speak to much, voice quavers, breathy. Went to ear/nose/throat- just said to rest voice but its not getting any better. Got puffer, doesn't work. Could it be spasmodic dysphonia? Any advice appreciated. Answer: Did they look at your vocal cords? If not they should. Also, if this is ok, what do pulmonary function tests show? Tag on a flow volume loop to ensure that you don't have some upper airway obstruction. Question: I am a professional singer who is currently experiencing hoarseness and laryngitis. I have also experienced a partial loss of vocal range. This condition has persisted for the last two months. In an effort to resolve the problem I met with a physician who indicated that he wasn't sure what I had and indicated that he didn't really know much about vocal problems. He recently prescribed a nasal steroid, Hismonal and an antibiotic. For the last several days I have spoken/sung very little but am still experiencing these problems (laryngitis like effect and loss of vocal range). I have a history of allergies and have been experiencing significant throat drainage for quite some time. I would like very much to have advice as to what I can do to regain my vocal health

Extractions: Patient Notes VOL 102 / NO 6 / DECEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx and nearby structures. The larynx (often called the Adam's apple) is a chamber in the windpipe, and stretched tightly across it are folds of membrane known as the vocal cords. As air passes over them, the vocal cords vibrate to make sound. The tongue, lips, and teeth turn it into speech. When the area is swollen and irritated, the voice is hoarse, muted, or gone entirely. What causes laryngitis? Viral or bacterial infection is the No. 1 cause. If you have a typical cold, you'll probably have several additional symptoms, such as sore throat, cough, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, congestion, fever, chills, tiredness, and achiness. But sometimes, laryngitis is the only symptom of a cold. An allergy to something you inhaled (such as pollen or dust) can cause laryngitis along with sneezing, wheezing, congestion, and itchy eyes and throat. A few hours of yelling and cheering for your favorite team can also leave you voiceless. Rarely, a tumor or polyp may affect your voice. How should I treat laryngitis?

Extractions: Laryngitis 16 Healing Hints You had to forgo your usual morning solo in the shower. The song that barley scratched its way out of your throat sounded more like a croak than an aria. You cleared your throat to try again. The sounds coming out of you were anything but musical. If this keeps uo, you won't have any voice at all. Want to know what your problem is? Bad vibrations. For you to sound like you, the air you exhale through your larynx - that voice box commonly known as your Adam's apple - has to vibrate through your vocal cords in just the right way. When the cords are scarred or swollen, they don't create the right shaped "container" for that air. That allows breath to escape. Even a slight change in your vocal cords can render your voice unrecognizable. Your vocal cords contain a central muscle bundle, various layers of connective tissue and a skinlike covering called the mucosa. "An alteration in any one of these layers can disrupt the optimal vibration through the tissue," says Scott Kessler, M.D., an otolaryngologist whose patients include opera stars and rock singers. He is on the staffs of Mount Sinai Hospital and Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. Damage can occur any number of ways, Misusing your voice can temporarily scar your vocal cords. An upper respiratory infection or an allergic reaction can inflame them. Even dry air can cause mucus to stick between the cords. The result? Laryngitis.

Extractions: Laryngitis Causes Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx (voice box) which can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Who Can Help Possible symptoms Complications Laryngitis is rarely serious and lasts less than 7 days. It can be part of a more serious infection such as tonsilitis or bronchitis. In young children, however, a swollen larynx can obstruct the passage of air causing breathing difficulties and croup, a more serious complication. If laryngitis develops into croup urgent medical treatment should be sought - see factsheet on croup. Prevention / Treatment Discourage your child from talking out loud. Give plenty of warm drinks to soothe the throat. See also Bronchitis Cough Croup Fever Tonsillitis What should you do ? Keep a check on your child's temperature in case they develop a fever (above 38oC or 100.4oF) which could indicate the presence of another infection, such as bronchitis. Be alert for the barking cough of croup Keep the atmosphere in your child's room humid.

Extractions: Laryngitis Inflammation or infection of the larynx and vocal cords, causing hoarseness or loss of voice . Acute laryngitis is most often caused by the same viruses and bacteria which cause Colds Sore throats Coughs Sinusitis , and Bronchitis ; less common causes are Allergies , shouting or straining the voice, continual coughing in order to bring up phlegm, vomiting, heavy smoking or drinking, inhaling toxic fumes, breathing through the mouth rather than the nose, Anxiety , and strong emotions. If condition does not clear up within 7-10 days, see your GP; referral to an ear, nose and throat specialist may be necessary. Chronic laryngitis is more likely to be a consequence of vocal overuse (an occupational hazard of market traders, teachers, and singers) than of infection; the vocal cords tend to swell, and in some cases develop polyps which may need to be removed surgically. However, more or less permanent hoarseness can be a symptom of Hypothyroidism , of chronic or Sinusitis , or Tonsillitis , or of food allergy; progressive hoarseness may be due to a laryngeal tumour; paralysis of the vocal cords can occur as the result of lung cancer, see Cancer Tuberculosis , heavy smoking or drinking, or thyroid surgery, or as part of the ageing process.
Laryngitis
Advice on laryngitis (hoarseness) by Dr. Grossan, a specialist and author.Natural cures, and treatment without drugs are emphasized. laryngitis.
http://www.ent-consult.com/laryngitis.html

Extractions: Do you have hoarseness or laryngitis? When we speak, two membranes, the vocal cords, vibrate to make sound. Hoarseness indicates these cords are malfunctioning either from swelling after yelling at the football game, or infection, or excess smoking or something interfering with this movement. At the start of hoarseness DO NOT GARGLE. This is like rubbing your eyes when they are inflamed. Reduce your talking, stay off the phone. Coughing makes hoarseness much worse. Steam is good - boil water, stick out your tongue and breathe the steam. Drink warm liquids - more is better, but not boiling hot. Avoid ice. Papain/ bromelain enzyme tablets such as , dissolved in the mouth between the cheek and gums, are very effective. This is especially useful if the pain follows flying or scuba diving. is a blend of pineapple and papaya enzymes designed especially for sinus and other inflammation. The enzyme activity one million units of bromelain from pineapple and a half million units of papain from papaya. (Be careful of using enzyme tablets which do not list the enzyme activity - you can't be sure if you're getting the right amount.) Hoarseness develops because the cold or sore throat gets to the larynx and causes the vocal cords to swell. It gets worse because we try to speak in spite of the swelling, or if people speak incorrectly. The more relaxed your neck muscles, the less chance for hoarseness. Frequent hoarseness may be caused by tight neck muscles. Make sure your head is not turned when you talk. Speaking from bed may be a factor. I have my singers do an exercise in the shower: with the water directed onto back of the neck, gently turn the neck, as if to see who is standing behind you. Alternate sides and continue for 3 minutes. If performed daily, this will help to keep these muscles relaxed.
