Laryngitis is inflammation or irritation of the structures of the throat and voice box, often leading to voice disturbances
Laryngoscopy
A minor procedure that allows doctors to examine your vocal cords and voice box with a light and a tiny mirror or by inserting a thin tube with a camera attached. This is safely performed in the office without sedation.
Specially trained therapists may be able to work with you on exercises and techniques to improve your vocal function.
Acute laryngitis will get better in a week or so and often involves rest and hydration. Chronic laryngitis, on the other hand, is a result of underlying conditions like smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, or heartburn. Therefore, treatment usually involves addressing these issues.
