Laryngitis causes hoarseness, sore throat, and voice loss, often from infections or overuse. Treatments include voice rest, hydration, and medications. For quick relief, consult licensed providers online via Klarity for personalized care and prescriptions if necessary.
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the vocal cords caused by viral infections, overusing your voice, smoking, or acid reflux. Common symptoms include hoarseness, sore throat, loss of voice, and a dry cough. Recognizing these signs early helps manage the condition effectively.
In cases caused by infection or reflux, healthcare providers may recommend medications such as antibiotics or acid reducers. Severe or persistent cases may require diagnostic procedures like laryngoscopy to evaluate vocal cord health.
If hoarseness persists beyond two weeks, is accompanied by difficulty breathing, severe pain, or swallowing issues, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Early diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment and prevents complications.
