Laryngitis means inflammation of the larynx or voice box. The larynx
is constructed in such a way that it prevents the entrance of food and
liquid into the respiratory tract during swallowing, while respiration
goes on unhampered. The most important function of the larynx is
ventilatory.
Laryngitis occurs due to an infection or overuse of the vocal cords.
The
chief symptoms of laryngitis are hoarseness of the voice, stridor (a
harsh sound produced while breathing) and difficulty in breathing.
Laryngitis may be acute or chronic in nature.
Allopathic treatments for Laryngitis include anti-inflammatory drugs. They may include NSAIDS.
Signs and Symptoms of Laryngitis
In
Laryngitis, the mucus membrane of the larynx is swollen and congested.
It is coated with mucus or occasionally pus beads. The epiglottis and
vocal cords, which are normally pale, appear red.
Other Symptoms include:
-- Hoarseness of the voice: The voice is at first hoarse and then reduced to a whisper
-- Irritating cough
-- Malaise
-- Pain on swallowing
-- Tickling sensation in the throat
-- Constant need to clear the throat
Conventional Therapy
The
treatment of laryngitis depends on the cause. Allowing the vocal cords
to rest is the mainstay of treatment. The following measures help faster
recovery:
-- Adequate rest in a warm ventilated room
-- Inhalation of warm moist air
-- Avoiding irritants like smoking or alcohol
-- Administration of cough linctus
