Customer question:
How long does laryngitis last? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The duration of laryngitis depends on several factors, including the cause, the severity of the infection, the individual's health, and the effectiveness of treatment. Laryngitis usually goes away within a few days to a week.
If a viral infection causes laryngitis, it is usually shorter and milder than a bacterial infection. Viral infections usually go away independently, while bacterial infections require antibiotic treatment. Children are often more susceptible to viral infections, including laryngitis. In children, laryngitis can go away faster than in adults.
Individuals with weakened immune systems or other health conditions may struggle with laryngitis symptoms for longer. A faster recovery can be achieved by resting, drinking enough water, avoiding irritants, and possibly treating symptoms. However, the duration of laryngitis may vary from case to case.
If the symptoms last for a long time or even get worse, it is recommended to consult a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess the severity of the case more accurately, determine the cause, and advise on the necessary treatment. Following the doctor's instructions and adhering to the treatment regulations is essential to speed up recovery and prevent possible complications.
