5. Introduction: Laryngitis occurs when your voice box or vocal cords become inflamed from overuse, irritation, or infection. Laryngitis can be acute (short-term), lasting less than three weeks. Or it can be chronic (long-term), lasting more than three weeks.
Many conditions can cause the inflammation that results in laryngitis. Viral infections, environmental factors, and bacterial infections can all cause laryngitis . [1]

6. Definition of Laryngitis an inflammation of the larynx, often occurs as a result of voice abuse or exposure to dust, chemicals, smoke, and other pollutants or as part of a URI. It also may be caused by isolated infection involving only the vocal cords.

7. Etiology Laryngitis is very often caused by the pathogens that cause the common cold and pharyngitis; the most common cause is a virus, and laryngitis is often associated with allergic rhinitis or pharyngitis. Bacterial invasion may be secondary.

8. Clinical Manifestation of Laryngitis Signs of acute laryngitis include : hoarseness or aphonia (complete loss of voice) and severe cough, sudden onset made worse by cold dry wind. The throat feels worse in the morning and improves when the patient is indoors in a warmer climate. At times, the patient presents with a dry cough and a dry, sore throat that worsens in the evening hours. Many patients also complain of a “tickle” in the throat that is made worse by cold air or cold liquids. Chronic laryngitis is marked by persistent hoarseness.

9. Medical Management Management of acute laryngitis includes: resting the voice. avoiding irritants (including smoking). resting, and inhaling cool steam or an aerosol. If the laryngitis is part of a more extensive respiratory infection caused by a bacterial organism or if it is severe, appropriate antibacterial therapy is instituted

10. Medical Management For chronic laryngitis, the treatment includes: Resting the voice. eliminating any primary respiratory tract infection. eliminating smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke. Topical corticosteroids, such as beclomethasone dipropionate ( Vanceril ), may be given by inhalation.

11. Nursing Management The nurse instructs the patient to rest the voice and to maintain a well-humidified environment. If laryngeal secretions are present during acute episodes, expectorant agents are suggested, along with a daily fluid intake of 2 to 3 L to thin secretions. The nurse instructs the patient about the importance of taking prescribed medications.

12. Nursing Management 4. the nurse informs the patient that the symptoms of laryngitis often extend a week to 10 days after completion of antibiotic therapy. 5. The nurse instructs the patient about signs and symptoms that require contacting the health care provider. 6. These signs and symptoms include loss of voice with sore throat that makes swallowing saliva difficult, hemoptysis, and noisy respirations.

13. Conclusion and Summary Laryngitis refers to inflammation of the larynx and can present in both acute and chronic forms. Acute Laryngitis is often a mild and self-limiting condition that typically lasts for a period of 3 to 7 days. If this condition lasts for over 3 weeks, then it is termed as chronic laryngitis. The most common cause of acute laryngitis is viral upper respiratory infection (URI), and this diagnosis can often be obtained from taking a thorough history of present illness from the patient

14. Conclusion and Summary Presenting symptoms often include voice changes (patients may report hoarseness or a "raspy" voice), early vocal fatigue (particularly in singers or professional voice users), or a dry cough. Breathing difficulties are rare (though possible) in acute laryngitis, but the presence of significant dyspnea, shortness of breath (SOB), or audible stridor should alert the clinician that a more dangerous disease process may be present.
