LARYNGITIS By: Holly Rhue and Niral Patel

Laryngitis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the voice box (larynx) that is usually associated with hoarseness or loss of voice. WHAT IS IT?

Larynx and vocal cords Causes include:  Hoarseness  Weak voice or voice loss  Tickling sensation and rawness of your throat  Sore throat  Dry throat  Dry cough WHAT PART OF THE BODY DOES IT EFFECT?

Most cases of laryngitis are temporary and improve after the underlying cause gets better. Causes of acute laryngitis include:  Viral infections such as those that cause a cold  Vocal strain, caused by yelling or overusing your voice  Viruses such as measles or mumps  Bacterial infections such as diphtheria, although this is rare CAUSES OF ACUTE LARYNGITIS:

Laryngitis that lasts more than three weeks is known as chronic laryngitis. This type of laryngitis is generally caused by irritants over time. Chronic laryngitis can cause vocal cord strain and injuries or growths on the vocal cord (polyps or nodules). These injuries can be caused by:  Inhaled irritants, such as chemical fumes, allergens or smoke  Acid reflux,  Chronic sinusitis  Excessive alcohol use  Habitual overuse of your voice (such as with singers or cheerleaders)  Smoking CAUSES OF CHRONIC LARYNGITIS:

Acute laryngitis caused by a virus often gets better on its own within a week or so. Self-care measures can also help improve symptoms. Chronic laryngitis treatments are aimed at treating the underlying causes, such as heartburn, smoking or excessive use of alcohol. Corticosteroids. Sometimes, corticosteroids can help reduce vocal cord inflammation. However, this treatment is used only when there's an urgent need to treat laryngitis TREATMENT:

Humidifier Rest Voice Drink Fluids Corticosteroids in extreme cases PHARMACOLOGY:

Usually heals on its own within hours RECOVERY:
