   Is laryngitis serious?

   • In some cases of laryngitis, your voice can become almost undetectable. Laryngitis may be short-lived (acute) or long lasting (chronic). Most cases of laryngitis are triggered by a temporary viral infection and aren't serious. Persistent hoarseness can sometimes signal a more serious underlying medical condition.

   Can a virus cause laryngitis?

   • Most cases of laryngitis stem from an upper respiratory infection. If a respiratory virus is causing your laryngitis, you could easily spread the virus to others (though they won't necessarily get laryngitis as a result). For instance, each time you cough, you release tiny droplets containing the virus into the air.

   What is laryngitis & what causes it?

   • Laryngitis is an inflammation of your voice box (larynx) from overuse, irritation or infection. Inside the larynx are your vocal cords — two folds of mucous membrane covering muscle and cartilage. Normally, your vocal cords open and close smoothly, forming sounds through their movement and vibration.
