Common Questions and Answers about Chronic laryngitis symptoms larynx
laryngitis
Hi, transient loss of voice and hoarse voice are the typical symptoms of laryngitis. It is inflammation of the larynx (voice box). It is mainly caused by virus and treatment depends on type of virus affected. Even serological tests will help to identify the responsible pathogens. It can be treated with appropriate anti viral.
Hi, there are two possibilites, "post nasal drip" or larynx inflammation. Do you have deviated nasal septum or sinusitis? Chronic discharge from sinuses drain out constantly in throat, causing sticky throat. Treatment is anti histamincs, decongestants along with antibiotics. Try steam inhalation along with ambroxol.
For laryngitis, usually steriods are prescribed but best is to consult ENT surgeon. Indirect laryngoscopy is done to see larynx condition.
More plausible causes of hoarseness of voice need to be checked like acute laryngitis, vocal cord nodules, allergies, gastro esophageal reflux, smoking, thyroid problems, trauma to larynx, parkinson’s disease and trauma to larynx. 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.
There is increasing evidence that GERD causes laryngeal signs and symptoms. Symptoms of reflux laryngitis include hoarseness, throat clearing, dysphagia, increased phlegm, and globus (feeling of lump in one’s throat) sensation.
Despite suspected epidemiologic reports, there is still controversy about the prevalence of GERD-related laryngeal signs and symptoms. Studies have shown that 24-hour pH monitoring may not be the perfect test for diagnosing atypical GERD.
Make sure that you drink plenty of fluids, especially water, 2-3 litres per day is recommended. The voice box (larynx) needs to be rested and lubricated. Misuse of the voice, either by shouting and exposure to irritants (in your case, smoking) can damage the vocal chords.
Acid reflux can also cause damage to the vocal chords.
You may have nodules on the chords, or have mucus coating them and that will cause crackling, hoarseness, etc.
Hello,
i am 25 years old, 95 kg weight, almost 25 days ago i started to feel pain in throat, i took Over The counter Erythromycin, which i only took 5 tablets until my symptoms got worse, i quit smoking and started azythromycin it was 3 days course but my symptoms got worse, thats when i consulted a ENT specialist who recommended Cefixime, i took that, but now the symptoms had grown below pharynx and larynx was also inflamed, it really hurt when i talk to i took some voice rest and steam inhala
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.
Acute laryngitis caused by allergies, viral infection, chronic laryngitis and laryngoesophageal reflux all can cause hoarseness and voice difficulties. Rare but serious causes producing these symptoms are vocal cord paralysis and vocal cord tumours.Please see your Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) for an evaluation. A detailed clinical examination and tests can help in determining the cause. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
You could have acid reflux induced laryngitis. An ENT could give you an accurate diagnosis, but discussing the issue with your primary care provider can also be helpful. If it is from acid reflux, OTC reflux meds probably won't be strong enough for your problem. Also, it can take about 3 months from the time you gain control of the reflux for your speaking voice to return fully. It has taken over a year for my singing voice to return.
I am 22 year old man.I started to do singing exercises many year ago form watching videos at home. I rashly did trills and rolls and made harsh sounds. i did it continuously for months and months. Now i am facing extremely serious speech problem ,. i cant start words.like my words get stuck every time and feel i have damaged my vocal cords or larynx muscles ...as they don't close or open properly? now i have completely stopped exercise or singing .
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.
Severe, long-standing GERD can damage the esophagus and cause a condition known as Barrett's esophagus wherein the normal lining of the esophagus is replaced by a lining more like that of the stomach or intestine.
Hi, welcome to the forum, your symptoms are suggestive of sinusitis. The causes of these are bacterial infection like streptococcal, staphylococcal, Tuberculosis, Bronchiectasis and Fungal infections.
This can be associated with postnasal drip and throat clearing. This can in turn irritate the throat lining. Other important causes are allergic rhinosinusitis, acid reflux etc.
About 3 months ago I engaged in oral sex with another boy (I am not gay, but every now and then I play around with this boy, so it doesn't happen very often at all maybe once a year). No semen ever entered my mouth. A few days later I got really sick, sore throat, fever, and eventually lost my voice for a few days. When I recovered, my voice sounded different.. not hoarse per say, but just different, and was noticed by a few others.
i am asthmatic on inhalers. i have been having chronic irritation in the throat making me to clear my throat all the time. what is responsible? what should i do?
I get three or four bouts of colds/sinus infections each year which always progresses into laryngitis with croup-like symptoms. I have a very difficult time getting air past my inflamed voice box and experience inspiratory wheezing (or stridor?) with the dry barky cough, and sometimes a thick yellowish/greenish phlegm will be cleared from my throat. It's very scary feeling like my throat is closing up at times.
I have similar problems. I have pain in the Larynx area. Doctor advised Steam, Rabee-D and Solvin.
In June 2020 I got a bout of laryngitis. I continued on for 10 days w/ progressing neck pain radiating up to my temple on right side. Sent for Covid test (neg). Worsened and went to ER. Xrays and CTs showed slight protrusion of C4&5 and C6&7, but otherwise - normal. CBCs normal. SedRate/Inflammation marker - normal. I am female, 5'8 140, overall good health. In the last 9 months, ENT for laryrngoscopy -> clear.
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.
