What Is Chronic Laryngitis, Its Symptoms And Treatment Options?

What is chronic laryngitis?

Repeated attacks of acute laryngitis that maintains consistency for an extended time period is known as chronic laryngitis. There can be many reasons for this occurrence such as the continuous misuse of the voice, environmental and non-environmental pollutions (inhalation of tobacco or industrial chemicals and natural allergens). These are just a few causes for chronic laryngitis.

Symptoms

Chronic laryngitis usually accumulates very slowly; sometimes the suffer assumes that it is just a cold. The very first symptom is soreness in your throat when speaking, accompanied with a minor voice change and a cough. Generally, these symptoms would improve in a short period time if it was only a cold.
With chronic laryngitis, the symptoms become more frequent as time passes; and if left untreated, vocal problems such as hoarse voice, raspy voice, loss of range and pitch and even complete voice loss, will begin to occur. This follows with even more severe coughing, sore throat, and breathing difficulties.

Treatment

If your chronic laryngitis is caused by smoking, alcohol use, work-related exposures or voice overuse, your health expert will suggest you to follow the standard prevention guidelines;  as well as, he/she may be referred to a speech-language pathologist (or an alternative voice specialist) for voice therapy in order to treat chronic laryngitis. There is a well-established method of universal voice/vocal health treatment (known as non-surgical voice repair) that has been developed by The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair.

They will also teach you how to properly take care of your voice with the use of their unique Vocal Science Method.
