Laryngitis causes hoarseness from voice inflammation, often due to infections or overuse. Experts recommend voice rest, hydration, and medical care, which can be accessed online through Klarity's telehealth services with licensed providers.
Laryngitis involves inflammation of the voice box (larynx), leading to hoarseness, voice loss, sore throat, and cough. It commonly results from viral infections, overusing your voice, smoking, or exposure to irritants like pollutants or chemicals.
Healthcare providers examine your throat, listen to your voice, and may perform a laryngoscopy to assess vocal cord inflammation. They evaluate symptoms and medical history to determine the cause.
In some cases, underlying issues like acid reflux are addressed to prevent recurrence.
If hoarseness persists beyond two weeks, worsens, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, swallowing, or chest pain, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Persistent symptoms may require specialized evaluation and treatment.
