Customer question:
How is laryngitis indicated? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Laryngitis usually presents with symptoms related to throat inflammation, especially in the area of the larynx or vocal cords. If you experience severe breathing problems, consult your doctor. Suppose the symptoms of laryngitis worsen or do not improve within a few days. In that case, it is recommended that you consult a doctor, that the severity of the case is also assessed, and that appropriate treatment is advised.
Symptoms of laryngitis in children and adults may include:
- hoarseness or loss of voice
- dry throat or coughing
- difficulties swallowing
- elevated body temperature
- feeling of a lump in the throat
- fatigue and weakness
- sore throat
It is important to note that laryngitis is usually a mild illness that resolves independently within a few days to a week. Some people, especially children, may experience throat swelling, leading to breathing problems. If a viral infection causes laryngitis, it is usually milder and lasts less time than laryngitis caused by a bacterial infection. Bacterial laryngitis is rarer.
Children are often more susceptible to viral infections, and laryngitis is no exception. 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 taking proper care of rest, drinking enough, avoiding irritants, and possibly treating symptoms.
