Common Questions and Answers about Laryngitis cough
laryngitis
I have developed a chronic dry cough & laryngitis, currently I have been dealing with symptoms for a month. I went thru same illness 5months ago was in the hospital & then passed around to various specialists without any real answers. I have done allergy testing, tests to rule out relfux, seen ENT, pulmonlogist, & family dr multiple times with not much success. No one can tell me why I got better last time, or why I am dealing with the same situation again.
About 7 days ago I started developing a cough which progressed rather quickly overnight into a very severe dry cough with a burning throat. Lost my voice by the third day. Saw my doctor and the consensus was that it was a viral laryngitis type of sickness. Though at the time (3rd day) did not have any visible issues in throat.
Then developed into a more congested mucousal cough. Headaches and fatigue throughout the majority of sickness.
Next morning my voice was gone, then after maybe 2 days passed it came back then days or weeks later cant really remember i noticed a cough that lasted forever maybe 2 months, i had mucus also. I Remember getting chills like bein hot and cold this happend one day or two days and chills never came back. I had a headache one night and thats it. My cough was my main thing i noticed usually coming in the morning or night. With mucus and mostly a dry cough.
With LPR there can be no symptoms at all, but it can cause sore throats, sinus infections, asthma like symptoms, laryngitis... My husband wakes up choking on fluid ocassionally and I have once.
I hope that helps.
Consult an otolaryngologist who will evaluate the causes and treat likewise. Cough suppressants for laryngitis, treat GERD, stop smoking, vocal rest etc will make a difference.
Hope this information helps you. Take care.
You need to discus this new symptoms with your dr. You could have acid reflux that is causing the cough. I know it sounds far fetched, but it happens to me. There is a type of acid reflux that is very common in asthma patients where the acid refluxes up into the back of the throat where it can cause sinus infections, laryngitis, and asthma symptoms.
Have this checked by a doctor.

Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate causing cough. Cough is a protective mechanism by the body as it helps to prevent infections. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

CT Scan with contrast reveals a 6 mm Basilar Artery Aneurysm, forward to Neurosurgeon, NS says no link between present symptoms and aneurysm. Forward to ENT. ENT say use Flonaise, irritants/allergens most likely cause of present symptoms.
in which case, you are going to continue coughing unceremoniously for another six weeks ! (100 days cough or 3-4 mths cough) Because no treatment is going to help, as much as I know. I hope between the attacks of cough, you are feeling fine.
Your doctors for sure, must have considered and ruled out other diagnoses like 1.Laryngitis 2. Laryngopharyngeal reflux 3. Allergy.
The surgery went well and I feel good. However, now I am losing my voice? It is very raspy and horse almost like laryngitis. I have has a bad cough since I got out of the hospital (Actually both of my kids have stayed home all week because of thier cough). Here is my question:
I never had any speach problems after the surgery, but I have had a bad cold....Is losing my voice just a coincedence, or should I be worried about nerve damage?
It also sounds different because of the laryngitis, a "nasty" cough, inability to go out in cold or humid weather and that she states the ability to breath is getting "even harder." If the weight loss was unintentional, then she definitely needs to see her doctor immediately.
I have had a sore throat for more than 3 weeks now. Started as a horrible cough and went from there. I am still short on energy and have a lot of post nasal drip., headaches, laryngitis, very sore throat and get periods of shortness of breath. The doctor gave me a prescription for a cough suppressant. He said it's a virus. I do have white patches on the opening to my throat and the surrounding tissue is pale. I've tried a netti pot, ginger and honey tea, garlic, etc.
I have had a chest, sinus cold going on four weeks now with intermittent laryngitis. I have been on a course of Levaquin 2 weeks ago and am still sick. Prior to this cold I had another cold and was on a Z pac, can't seem to get any better... Never had a fever, just productive cough raising green phlegm.. Should I be working about my immune system at this point?
Hello,
In some patients, acid can reflux into the throat causing inflammation of the back of the throat which can lead to pharyngitis, or into the vocal cords, which can lead to laryngitis and hoarseness. Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found.
The acid refluxes higher into the laryngx, pharynx and even the sinuses where it can cause laryngitis, sinus infections, and chronic cough along with a number of other issues.
There are many other causes of chronic cough to investigate, but after allergies acid reflux is one of the leading causes.
You could also try OTC reflux meds to see if the help at all. A proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole would be a good place to start. You can also try H2 blockers like Pepcid.
Feel better.
