Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, commonly known as the voice box, which results in hoarseness or loss of voice. It is often caused by viral infections, such as the common cold or flu, but can also result from overuse of the voice, bacterial infections, irritants like smoke, or allergies. Symptoms include a sore throat, dry cough, and difficulty speaking. Most cases of laryngitis are temporary and improve on their own with rest, hydration, and avoiding irritants. In some cases, medical treatment may be necessary if the condition is caused by a bacterial infection or if symptoms last for an extended period.
