Laryngitis is an inflammation or swelling of the larynx, which is the voice box located in the upper part of the neck. Laryngitis can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, overuse of the voice, or exposure to irritating substances such as smoke or chemicals.
The symptoms of laryngitis may include hoarseness or loss of voice, sore throat, cough, difficulty speaking, and a feeling of irritation or tickling in the throat. In some cases, laryngitis may also cause a fever or swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
Most cases of laryngitis are mild and will improve on their own with rest and proper self-care measures. Treatment may include resting the voice, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and other irritants, and using a humidifier or steam inhalation to soothe the throat.
In some cases, laryngitis may be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as acid reflux or cancer, so it’s important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen over time.
