Laryngitis

Laryngitis is an inflammation of your voice box(larynx) from overuse, irritation, or infection.

Inside the larynx are your vocal cords, they open and close smoothly forming sounds through their movement and vibration .

But with laryngitis, your vocal cords become inflamed or irritated. This makes vocal cords swell which distorts the sounds produced by air passing over them.

Causes :

b) Vocal strain caused by yelling or overusing your voice.
c)Bacterial infections are less common.
Chronic Laryngitis : Laryngitis that lasts longer than three weeks is known as chronic laryngitis. This type of laryngitis is caused by exposure to irritants over time. Chronic laryngitis can cause vocal cord strain and injuries or growth on vocal cords.
a) Inhaled irritants, such as chemical fumes, allergens, or smoke
