Dear Doctor K on Chronic Laryngitis Causes and Care
Chronic laryngitis lasts at least two weeks and is usually not infectious. Causes include voice misuse, smoking, alcohol, GERD, and exposure to irritants. A doctor will review symptoms, medications, and risk factors, then examine the throat and vocal cords and may test for reflux or refer to an ENT specialist. Hydration and humidification help, and reducing irritants or pursuing voice therapy can improve the condition.
