   A description of this disorder, its causes, symptoms and treatment are discussed, as well as when to see a doctor.  
   http://www.byu.edu/shc/library/common/laryngit.html
   
   Extractions: Laryngitis, an inflammation in the vocal cords in the larynx, has many causes. Laryngitis is characterized by a weak, hoarse, gravely voice, sore throat, often fever, cough (usually dry and nonproductive), a tickling in the back of the throat, and difficulty swallowing. The most common cause is a viral infection. Usually, laryngitis is self-limiting. However, children's croup (see croup on the Pediatrics Page ) or acute epiglottitis can present like laryngitis. Laryngitis is often irritative in nature. Singers, politicians, auctioneers, and cheerleaders sometimes loose their voices as a result of their activities. For most of us, cheering at a game is a common cause of this condition. Young children get the same thing, most commonly from strenuous crying or shouting while playing.

   http://www.druginfonet.com/faq/faqlaryn.htm
   
   Extractions: Question: I've had troubles speaking for the past few months. Very strained voice, voice breaks, not enough breath to finish sentence, chest hurts if speak to much, voice quavers, breathy. Went to ear/nose/throat- just said to rest voice but its not getting any better. Got puffer, doesn't work. Could it be spasmodic dysphonia? Any advice appreciated. Answer: Did they look at your vocal cords? If not they should. Also, if this is ok, what do pulmonary function tests show? Tag on a flow volume loop to ensure that you don't have some upper airway obstruction. Question: I am a professional singer who is currently experiencing hoarseness and laryngitis. I have also experienced a partial loss of vocal range. This condition has persisted for the last two months. In an effort to resolve the problem I met with a physician who indicated that he wasn't sure what I had and indicated that he didn't really know much about vocal problems. He recently prescribed a nasal steroid, Hismonal and an antibiotic. For the last several days I have spoken/sung very little but am still experiencing these problems (laryngitis like effect and loss of vocal range). I have a history of allergies and have been experiencing significant throat drainage for quite some time. I would like very much to have advice as to what I can do to regain my vocal health

   Extractions: From Our Sponsors Laryngitis (LAIR-in-JIE-tis) is an irritation and swelling of the voice box and the area around it. It may cause your voice to change, or you may lose your voice entirely for a short while. The problem is most common in late fall, winter, or early spring. With or without treatment, you should be well in 7 to 14 days. Laryngitis is usually caused by a virus or by bacteria. People who smoke, have allergies, or strain their voices by yelling, talking, or singing may also come down with the problem. The classic symptoms are a hoarse, low voice, and a scratchy throat. You also might lose your voice, develop a sore throat, come down with a fever, feel you have a lump in your throat, or feel very tired. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to treat any infection.

When the vocal cords become inflamed or infected, they swell. This can cause hoarseness, and may occasionally cause obstruction of the airway. The most common form of laryngitis is an infectious illness usually caused by a virus which results in hoarseness. It may also be part of a bacterial infection or part of a common cold bronchitis flu , or pneumonia Laryngitis often follows or occurs during an upper respiratory infection and is a self-limiting condition (it goes away by itself). Common laryngitis is not normally associated with any breathing difficulty respiratory distress).

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Spanish version Illustration Illustration Laryngitis is inflammation of the vocal cords and the area around them (the larynx, or voice box). It causes hoarseness. Sometimes it's hard to speak at all. Laryngitis may be acute or chronic. Acute laryngitis occurs suddenly and lasts no more than a few days. Laryngitis is chronic if the hoarseness in your throat lasts for a long time. Laryngitis can be a symptom of a cold, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, and other respiratory infections or allergies. Acute laryngitis is usually caused by a virus, but it can also result from a bacterial infection. Chronic laryngitis can be caused by: heavy smoking shouting, singing, or excessive use of the voice, such as in teaching or public speaking

   Extractions: Patient Notes VOL 102 / NO 6 / DECEMBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx and nearby structures. The larynx (often called the Adam's apple) is a chamber in the windpipe, and stretched tightly across it are folds of membrane known as the vocal cords. As air passes over them, the vocal cords vibrate to make sound. The tongue, lips, and teeth turn it into speech. When the area is swollen and irritated, the voice is hoarse, muted, or gone entirely. What causes laryngitis? Viral or bacterial infection is the No. 1 cause. If you have a typical cold, you'll probably have several additional symptoms, such as sore throat, cough, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, congestion, fever, chills, tiredness, and achiness. But sometimes, laryngitis is the only symptom of a cold. An allergy to something you inhaled (such as pollen or dust) can cause laryngitis along with sneezing, wheezing, congestion, and itchy eyes and throat. A few hours of yelling and cheering for your favorite team can also leave you voiceless. Rarely, a tumor or polyp may affect your voice. How should I treat laryngitis?

    Find out how the voice works and why it sometimes doesn't.  
    http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure/sick/laryngitis.html
    
    Extractions: Did you ever hear someone say, "I lost my voice"? Did you think: "What did you do with it?" Or maybe you woke up one morning and your voice sounded funny when you tried to talk. Maybe you were croaking like a frog or when you tried to speak, only some of the words came out. Here's the way your voice works - and why sometimes it doesn't. How Your Voice Works Open up your mouth and say something. Anything. Answer the question: "What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?" At the top of your windpipe - also called your trachea (say: tray -kee-uh) - is your larynx (say: lar -inks), or voice box. It's the source of your voice. Inside your larynx are two bands of muscles called vocal cords, or vocal folds. When you breathe, your vocal cords are relaxed and open so that you can get air into and out of your lungs But when you decide to say something, these cords come together. Now the air from your lungs has to pass through a smaller space. This causes the air to vibrate. The sound from these vibrations goes up your throat and comes out your mouth as "Chocolate is the best flavor!" (or whatever your favorite flavor of ice cream happens to be). You can make different sounds by lengthening or shortening, or tensing or relaxing, the vocal cords. Although you don't even think about it, every time you want to talk with a deeper voice you lengthen and relax these vocal muscles. When you talk with a higher pitched voice, you tighten the vocal cords and make them smaller. You can try this right now. Make your voice go from deep to high pitch and back again. Do you feel the vibrations along your throat coming from your vocal cords?
