What is Laryngitis?
Inflammation of the larynx, i.e. voice box, is referred to as laryngitis. Laryngitis is caused by infection – viral, bacterial or fungal. Overuse of the voice, allergies, acid reflux disease, smoking and alcohol intake are some other causes. Laryngitis can be acute or chronic. Short term laryngitis of less than 3 weeks’ duration is termed as acute laryngitis. Laryngitis which has lasted more than 3 weeks is termed long term or chronic laryngitis.
Symptoms of Laryngitis
A major symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness of the voice. Other symptoms are dry/sore/raw throat, cough, difficulty swallowing, need to repeatedly clear the throat.

Hello Dr. Sharma
Hope you are doing well.
I have concerns about Laryngitis.
Can you please help me.
I am 64 year-old, want a remedy for my voice problem. I used to practice classical vocal music. But I had to stop singing due to this problem. Whenever I start talking, I feel my voice has cracked inside on right side. Then comes a burning feeling followed by choking and a feeble ache, as if the place has been bruised or rubbed with a rough surface. It feels like I have smoked 4 to 5 cigarettes in chain, though I don’t smoke at all. Clinically, nothing could be seen inside my throat and the investigation was negative (FOL). I have Sick Sinus Syndrome (Pacemaker implanted) with slightly raised uric acid. I often suffer from indigestion, gas and acidity which started after Herpes inside right ear in 2014. I can’t consume onion, raw or cooked. Almost every day, my voice gets choked at about 4 PM. Milk, red chili, coffee, sour items cause me troubles. Treatment: I myself started with Lycopodium 200 very recently, 1 dose first day, 2nd on next day and 3rd day after. Both my stomach and voice started being better after one week. Then I took 2 doses of 1M in greater gap. Betterment continued. In between I had to take pulsatila, which later I learned as an antidote. Betterment also stopped leading to previous conditions. So, I again took 2 doses of Lyco 1M and soon everything worsened. Now, I am perplexed as to what should I do.
