laryngitis upper respiratory infection

m usually prescribed antibiotics for a suspected sinus infection, and take it faithfully but I worry that it dries out my throat even more, exacerbating the croup like symptoms. I also wonder if the anitbiotic is useless if perhaps the origin of my upper respiratory infection is viral. It seems abnormal to have such severe problems with laryngitis.

A hoarseness persisting beyond two weeks needs an evaluation by an ENT specialist. It could be due to varied causes like upper respiratory tract infection like laryngitis or pharyingitis, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, reflux laryngitis in people who have acidity and GERD, muscle abnormality, voice box abnormality, polyps, tumors or weakness of voice box etc. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

thanks, all those causes u mentioned were cleared out. i've undergone tests to eliminate the cause of the itchy throat and there'is nothing to suggest any upper respiratory disease. also with allergy, i have been using mask outside and inside the house just to prevent pollen/airborne allergy but still my throat itch. it does not hurt though but it sure is very very irritating. the itch is somewhere justabove the adams apple, i really like to scratch it if i could but its impossible.

Infections usually start out as upper respiratory infections, such as from a cold and then travel down into your lungs (lower respiratory infection). Other times it's from getting the flu and a secondary infection sets in, such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis. Other times you could get acute bronchitis from being exposed to a lot of irritants in the air (such as wood dust, heavy pollution etc).

A holistic doctor from France I met at a conference told me that he had treated successfully thousands of patients suffering from ANY upper respiratory tract infections, from pneumonia to bronchitis, from flu to laryngitis, using the following remedy: One ounce of Magnesium Chloride flakes (Pharmaceutical grade) per one liter of spring water, sipped very slowly throughout the entire day. Repeat for 3-4 days.

Last year I was constantly getting upper respiratory infections, laryngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. There was a period of 6 months that I was constantly on antibiotics and steroids. My ENT did allergy testing (normal), CT scan of nasal cavity (normal) and several scopes to look at my vocal cords which were inflamed. Finally he told me that he felt that I needed to have my Lingual Tonsils removed.

Anyone ever had an upper respiratory infection during their pregnancy? If so, did it affect your baby in any way?

I am uncertain about what this statement means but assume the symptoms to be those of a cold or another type of upper respiratory infection. Such symptoms may be caused by persistent or recurrent infection but, in many instances are caused by repeated exposure to, 1) an allergic substance or, 2) to an irritant; that is, they can be caused by something present in your environment.

I went to the doctor last wednesday and he diagnosed me with an upper respiratory infection caused by allergies. The main symptom I went there for was this brain fog, I have it bad and still have it bad to this day. The doctor said that would cause it, but i just want to know if it is true and will it be cured by the antibiodics he gave me please help.

The whole syndrome leads to inflammation in the upper respiratory system and salivary glands....and also seems to cause a chronic on and off throat congestion and laryngitis....I do a lot of constant, year round throat clearing. But back to the issue, my Parotid glands seem to just want stay irritated and lumpy. Its been well over a decade, and eight years since my SVR...and they still are not normal. How many of you out there have had similar, or related issues? Any thoughts...

s from an infection then you need to try to flush that infection out. I will get laryngitis also from constantly trying to clear my throat as well. Not sure of your situation but I hope it clears soon cuz I know it can be brutal!!

I have had pain in my thyroid area for a week now. It got worse, I developed a fever, had chills then I was so overheated and couldn't cool down at all. The next day, I went to the doctor and he put me on an antibiotic for a sinus infection. He said my nasal passages looked a little inflamed. I have been on the2,000 mg. of amoxicillin antibiotic for 4 days now and am not better. I tossed and turned and moaned all night long last night. I was miserable.

I was told to take robitussin Dm when I had an upper respiratory infection by a doctor, but the pharmacist said not to take anything with an expectorant, so I went to a different doctor for a second opinion and was told to absolutely not take anything with an expectorant. Instead, I drank hot tea with aome lemon and honey and was prescribed an antibiotic.
