Natural Treatment for Laryngitis

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.
