Chronic laryngitis: diagnosis and treatment

Chronic laryngitis is a chronic inflammatory process in the laryngeal region and in the vocal cords. Often it is a consequence of hypothermia of the body or a consequence of diseases such as influenza, tonsillitis, colds, measles.

Laryngitis can develop on its own, due to prolonged smoking, alcohol abuse, burns of the larynx or physical damage. Clear signs of chronic laryngitis are complete loss of voice, hoarseness, wheezing, wheezing and dry cough. This is a professional illness of teachers, lecturers, in general, people constantly exposed to the strain of the vocal cords. If your voice becomes tired quickly, a feeling of constriction is felt, a dry cough - then you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Laryngitis is of three types: catarrhal, hypertrophic and atrophic.

Catarrhal chronic laryngitis is characterized by compaction of the mucosa and mild hyperemia. Vocal cords are not completely closed, they often can be seen the appearance of viscous mucus.

Hypertrophic chronic laryngitis often appears from the catarrhal form. It is an inflammatory process that covers the entire laryngeal part, with puffiness greater in the vocal cords.

With chronic atrophic laryngitis on the submucosa and mucous membrane, there is a small cell infiltration around the vessels and glands. Often, this species coincides with other inflammations of the mucous in the body.
