  Acute laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx) affects the vocal cords and upper respiratory tract. It is usually brought on by a virus and often starts suddenly or follows the pathway of most common respiratory infection. Main symptoms include dry irritating cough and dyspnoea (difficulty breathing). It is more common in infants and pre-schoolers but its not completely unheard of in adults either. It usually runs its course without serious complications, but in some cases it can be life-threatening. […] A typical symptom of laryngitis is dry irritating cough. Furthermore, hoarseness, a sore throat or difficulty swallowing are also common. It may also be accompanied by general weakness, 39 C + fever, chest pain and difficulty speaking and can lead to a complete loss of voice. A summary of the typical symptoms of laryngitis include: hoarseness and muffled voice, weakening of the voice up to complete voice loss, sore throat, irritating barking cough and difficulty swallowing, swelling, gasping, and wheezing, increased temperature, chest pain and general weakness.

  https://www.buzzrx.com/blog/stages-of-laryngitis-and-recovery-timeline

  The presence of symptoms such as increasing pain, trouble swallowing, and breathing difficulties could indicate a more serious underlying health condition. […] Acute laryngitis occurs in response to an infectious or non-infectious trigger that causes local inflammation of the vocal cords and surrounding tissues. The symptoms of infectious laryngitis come on suddenly and get worse during the first 3 days. Acute laryngitis is usually a self-limited condition and resolves within 2 weeks. […] In laryngitis caused by non-infectious causes, the symptoms may persist beyond 2-3 weeks, and this is a transition to chronic laryngitis. In such cases, the healing process is longer. The chronic hoarseness can last for several weeks, depending on how soon the underlying cause is identified and treated.

  Laryngitis refers to inflammation of the larynx, most commonly caused by an acute viral infection, resulting in hoarseness, sore throat, and voice loss. This condition is typically a mild, self-limiting condition lasting 3 to 7 days. […] Acute Laryngitis is often a mild and self-limiting condition typically lasting 3 to 7 days; if this condition lasts for over 3 weeks, then it is termed chronic laryngitis. The most common cause of acute laryngitis is viral upper respiratory infection, and this diagnosis can often be obtained by taking a thorough history of the present illness from the patient. Presenting symptoms often include voice changes (patients may report hoarseness or a „raspy” voice), early vocal fatigue (particularly in singers or professional voice users), or a dry cough. […] Initial symptoms of acute laryngitis are usually abrupt in onset and worsen over 2 or 3 days, though they may persist for up to a week without treatment. These can include: Change in quality of voice, in later stages, there may be a complete loss of voice (aphonia), Discomfort and pain in the throat, particularly after talking, Dysphagia, odynophagia (if present, exercise caution – may hint at additional pathology), Dry cough, General symptoms of dryness of throat, malaise, and fever, Frequent throat-clearing, Early voice fatigue or loss of vocal range.

  Laryngitis is an inflammation of the mucus membranes of your voice box (larynx), which causes you to have a hoarse voice. It is most commonly due to an infection, usually a virus. […] Common symptoms of laryngitis include: sore throat or soreness at the front of your neck, hoarseness, a mild temperature, a dry cough, a croaky voice or difficulty speaking, and constant need to clear your throat. […] Sometimes laryngitis is part of a more widespread infection. For example, you may also have a sore throat (pharyngitis), tonsillitis, a cold or flu-like illness. […] Viral laryngitis typically gets worse over 2-3 days. It then eases and goes away, usually within a week. However, you may have a croaky voice for a week or so even after the other symptoms have gone. This is because the inflammation of the vocal cords can take a while to settle after the virus has gone.

  Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, the „voice box” that contains the vocal cords in the upper portion of the neck. Chronic laryngitis is a more persistent disorder that produces lingering hoarseness and other voice changes. It usually is painless and has no significant sign of infection. The most common symptom of chronic laryngitis is hoarseness. For the condition to be truly chronic, this hoarseness must persist for at least two weeks. Depending on the cause of chronic laryngitis, other symptoms can include: a low, raspy voice, a voice that tires easily, „breaks” or „cracks”, the sensation of a lump in the throat or a dry throat, a constant urge to clear the throat, heavy mucus in the throat, chronic cough or postnasal drip, discomfort during swallowing. For laryngitis to be truly chronic, hoarseness must last for at least two weeks. Once chronic laryngitis develops, it is usually a long-term problem in people who continue to smoke, drink alcohol heavily, work with irritating dusts or chemicals, or abuse the voice by shouting or constant talking. Chronic laryngitis caused by GERD will last as long as acid reflux continues. Hoarseness that doesn’t go away or keeps coming back should never be ignored because it also can be a symptom of certain head and neck cancers. If you are willing to make lifestyle changes to treat your chronic laryngitis, the outlook is usually very good. This is especially true for people whose chronic laryngitis is related to smoking, alcohol, work exposure or voice abuse. For people with GERD, a combination of dietary changes and medications to decrease acid production can cure chronic laryngitis in up to two-thirds of cases. On the other hand, if you have chronic laryngitis and you continue to expose yourself to factors that irritate your larynx, you eventually can develop small nodules or polyps (fingerlike growths) on your vocal cords, which may need to be removed surgically to improve your voice.

Once chronic laryngitis develops, it is usually a long-term problem in people who continue to smoke, drink alcohol heavily, work with irritating dusts or chemicals, or abuse the voice by shouting or constant talking. Chronic laryngitis caused by GERD will last as long as acid reflux continues. Hoarseness that doesn’t go away or keeps coming back should never be ignored because it also can be a symptom of certain head and neck cancers. If you are willing to make lifestyle changes to treat your chronic laryngitis, the outlook is usually very good. This is especially true for people whose chronic laryngitis is related to smoking, alcohol, work exposure or voice abuse. For people with GERD, a combination of dietary changes and medications to decrease acid production can cure chronic laryngitis in up to two-thirds of cases. On the other hand, if you have chronic laryngitis and you continue to expose yourself to factors that irritate your larynx, you eventually can develop small nodules or polyps (fingerlike growths) on your vocal cords, which may need to be removed surgically to improve your voice.

• #60 Laryngitis (Chronic and Acute)

  https://patient.info/doctor/laryngitis-pro

  Laryngitis is a condition where there is inflammation of the larynx. Laryngitis which persists beyond three weeks is defined as chronic. […] Acute laryngitis is commonly due to infection but there are rarer causes. The basic pathophysiology is inflammation of the mucosa lining the vocal folds and larynx. If infection is involved, white cells aggregate to remove infectious material from the area. Oedema of the laryngeal lining increases the amount of pressure required to produce sound, resulting in dysphonia or aphonia. Changes to the structure of the larynx may also result in a lower register of speech. […] Chronic laryngitis can be due to a variety of different causes, including gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), allergy, trauma and autoimmune disease. Depending on the cause, there may be laryngeal spasm, hyperaemia, oedema, inflammation and various changes to the morphology of the laryngeal mucosal cells.

  Laryngitis, an inflammation of the larynx, is one of the most common laryngeal conditions identified. It manifests in acute and chronic forms. […] Acute laryngitis has an abrupt onset and is usually self-limited. If a patient has symptoms of laryngitis for more than 3 weeks, the condition is classified as chronic laryngitis. […] In addition to symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (ie, fever, cough, rhinitis), the patient also experiences dysphonia or a hoarse voice. The individual may also experience the following: Odynophonia, Dysphagia, Odynophagia, Dyspnea, Rhinorrhea, Postnasal discharge, Sore throat, Congestion, Fatigue, Malaise. […] Acute laryngitis is an inflammation of the vocal fold mucosa and larynx that lasts less than 3 weeks. When the etiology of acute laryngitis is infectious, white blood cells remove microorganisms during the healing process. The vocal folds then become more edematous, and vibration is adversely affected.

• #62 Acute Laryngitis – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534871/

  Acute laryngitis resolves within 2 weeks and is due to local inflammation of the vocal folds and surrounding tissues in response to a trigger, whether that trigger is infectious or non-infectious. If symptoms persist beyond this timeframe, it is either due to superinfection or a transition to chronic laryngitis. Acute laryngitis is characterized by inflammation and congestion of the larynx in the early stages. […] As this is often a self-limiting condition, it carries a good prognosis. If the patient completes the recommended therapy, the prognosis for recovery to a premorbid level of phonation is excellent. If vocal maladaptations have occurred, speech therapy can resolve these problems.

  The membranous covering of the vocal folds is usually red and swollen. The lowered pitch in laryngitic patients is a result of this irregular thickening along the entire length of the vocal fold. […] Because acute laryngitis is usually self-limited and treated with conservative measures, significant morbidity and mortality are not encountered. […] Patients with acute laryngitis have an increased open quotient value. This indicates that the patient’s vocal folds are open longer, and less time is spent in the closed position, which contributes to the hoarseness and breathiness of the voice.

• #64 Symptoms of Laryngitis – THE VOICE FOUNDATION

  https://voicefoundation.org/health-science/voice-disorders/voice-disorders/laryngitis/symptoms-of-laryngitis/

  The most common symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness. Hoarseness is usually a raspy or husky sound of the voice resulting from swelling within the vocal fold. Swelling limits the normal vibratory movement of the vocal fold during phonation, which causes the sound produced to be less harmonic and raspier. […] In some cases, swelling may limit the ability of the vocal folds to vibrate at higher speeds (frequencies), which are needed to produce high-pitched sounds. This causes a decrease in the pitch range and affects high notes more severely, thus resulting in a low voice. […] If there is significant swelling of the vocal folds, they may not be able to vibrate at all, and no sound or only a whisper is produced. […] Other symptoms of laryngitis include sore throat, dry throat, itchy throat, sensation of something stuck in the throat, and difficulty breathing (rare).

  Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, the „voice box” that contains the vocal cords in the upper portion of the neck. Chronic laryngitis is a more persistent disorder that produces lingering hoarseness and other voice changes. It usually is painless and has no significant sign of infection. The most common symptom of chronic laryngitis is hoarseness. For the condition to be truly chronic, this hoarseness must persist for at least two weeks. Depending on the cause of chronic laryngitis, other symptoms can include: a low, raspy voice, a voice that tires easily, „breaks” or „cracks”, the sensation of a lump in the throat or a dry throat, a constant urge to clear the throat, heavy mucus in the throat, chronic cough or postnasal drip, discomfort during swallowing.

  Laryngitis generally produces hoarseness that gets worse with voice use. If the reason for the laryngitis is infectious, then there may also be fever and a sore throat, and perhaps a cough. […] Laryngitis is sometimes used to explain persistent hoarseness. This is misguided not just because of the probable inaccuracy, but because hoarseness can be an early sign of a more serious problem. If there is a voice change that fails to improve for more than two to three weeks, the vocal folds themselves must be examined by a physician trained to do so. […] Laryngitis is not the same as hoarseness. When hoarseness persists beyond two weeks, especially without fever or other signs of illness, simple laryngitis is not an adequate diagnosis. […] It cannot be stressed enough that laryngitis is not an adequate diagnosis for hoarseness that goes on beyond two weeks. In such a case, the vocal cords must be examined to exclude another diagnosis. This is especially true in smokers, who have a high risk of laryngeal cancer.
