is laryngitis contagious inflammation

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.

If the pain is internal then it can be due to laryngitis or inflammation of the voice box. Gargling with warm water and antibiotics help. If it is on the outside then it can be due to inflammation of thyroid or a boil or a swollen lymph node. Please consult a doctor as diagnosis is not possible on net. Take care!

Bronchitis is contagious. I have a friend whos hisband and son both get it really bad and when one shows a sign she puts a mask on herself and her littlest. The husband and older son that are both prone she does not try to prevent because they are both so susceptible to it they get it regardless. I dont know about the harm to baby, however.

There are several things this can be. The first is bronchitis or pneumonia. Your doctor can tell you what is going on for sure and get you the proper treatment. Take care.

This could be something benign and self-limited like a viral laryngitis or some vocal abuse. This just requires time, keeping quiet and drinking fluids. Other, less common and possibly more serious possibilities exist. You should see a doctor if it doesn't get better.

Pleurisy is an inflammation of tissues around the lung, and in general, there is not much chance of contagion. Pleurisy is not necessarily inside the lung, but usually affects the sliding surfaces that surround the lungs. Thus, aerosolization of the infectious agent through coughing is not usually an issue. Bear in mind that the inflammation may, in some cases, result from tuberculosis. In such a case there is danger of contagion.

I called my doctor, who changed me to Azithromycin. My laryngitis is better. Most of the sore throat is gone. However, I still have sore swollen glands, and I still have a large white pocket in my throat (Next to my Faucial Pillars). Is this typical? How long should I give it for the white patch and gland stuff to go away?

thanks for your reply!! I am worried if this is herpes laryngitis/phryngitis since they don't show any symptoms of hsv1 on the lips or in the mouth and it can impact the throat. I also read that some people will not show symptoms if it is GHSV1 (since I had only genetal contacts). Wondering if HSV1 causes directly laryngitis/phryngitis without causing any outbreaks on face or in the mouth !!

Does this look like Herpes Esophagitis or something along those lines? Or is this merely inflammation from general illness? Something else? I am on day 7 and the cough has considerably eased into a milder dry cough with discomfort in the throat but a headache persists and the prominence of these spots on my throat is concerning.

And, the examinations, treatment and follow-up of the ENT indicate that you are receiving very good care. The ENT’s assertion that you are experiencing reflux laryngitis is probably correct, notwithstanding the opinion of your GI consultant. 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.

I have gastro parasthesis, GERD, GastrtiS And the real culprit right now is sever esophageal spasms. My neck is numb along with a portion of my face they think that is because I have extreme muscle cramps or charlie horses in my neck. they actually think that this part is caused by my fibromyalogia.Most of the time do you sure cause after I throw up or regurgitate which includes a great amount of stomach acid.I have large swollen lymph nodes.

is it safe to use spiriva and advair together my sister has had laryngitis for 4 weeks

You mention only throat (and that's more than enough), not nose/sinus. Do you also have nasal blockage? This isn't leading me to a conclusion but the information may be helpful to those reading. I frequent this Community because of a chronic nasal congestion problem, mainly when lying down, trying to sleep. So I can empathize with the panic caused by not getting enough air. Is your condition affected by you body's position, sitting, standing, lying down?

Not a Doc of course, but From what I know, cellulitis is an objective symptom of inflammation caused from some type of infection. Depends on whether the strain of Bacteria causing the infection is contagious. Normally treated with course of antibiotics, but certain bacteria initially resistant to treatment may require alternative or extended treatment. A culture, swab test by a dermatologist or family Doc can determine what type of bacteria is present and best treatment methods.

Hi, my boyfriend recently got diagnosed with balanitis. I'm now concerned with our sexual activities as I'm afraid that it's contagious. Is it contagious? And if it is, what's the best precaution. Thank you.

Giving unprotected oral to a female is very low risk for any stds and zero for hiv. The bigger risk is giving a male oral.

syndrome that I developed from HCV, and that continues to cause my dry gritty, light sensitive eyes to be a nuisance...and often my dry, inflamed sinuses, and throat. 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.

As someone who is still recovering from acid reflux laryngitis, I will say that it took MONTHS for my voice to return. My laryngitis started in October 2009 and continued into April 2010 with slight improvements starting in late February. When I was first diagnosed as acid reflux causing my laryngitis, I was told it would take at least three months to get my voice back.

However I have been sick a few times since then and every time the virus turns straight into terrible laryngitis. Before the surgery I very rarely ever got laryngitis but now it comes on so easily and lasts for a while. Is there any reason that this would be connected to my thyroid surgery? Wondering if this is still part of the healing process or not? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
