In many cases, laryngitis is a minor, temporary condition caused by a recent cold or illness.

However, laryngitis may also be a chronic condition that is a sign of more serious medical conditions.[3]

 

 

 

 

Laryngitis is when the voice box (or larynx) is inflamed.[1] 

In laryngitis, the voice box is irritated, and the voice may become hoarse or even disappear.[2]
