What are the symptoms of chronic laryngitis?

Chronic laryngitis actually causes distress and trouble to many patients, so it needs to be discovered in time and treatment measures should be taken in time. For example, if hoarseness or increased secretions in the throat, as well as discomfort in the throat, should be paid attention to.

1. Hoarseness

Hoarseness is the main symptom. It is intermittent at first. If the cricoarytenoid joint is affected, hoarseness will become more obvious in the morning or after the vocal cords have rested for a long time. However, it is generally believed that the more the voice is used, the more severe the hoarseness will be, and then the hoarseness will gradually become persistent. Complete voice loss is rare.

2. Increased throat secretions

You often feel that there is phlegm sticking to your throat, and whenever you speak, you need to clear your throat or cough to clear the thick phlegm.

3. Frequent discomfort in the throat

Such as tingling, burning sensation, foreign body sensation, dryness, etc. Patients cough to temporarily relieve the discomfort in their throat. This cough is often a dry cough without secretions, which is a unique symptom of chronic laryngitis.

4. Atrophic laryngitis

There may be spasmodic cough. Crusting is the cause of spasmodic cough, so there are often scabs or sticky secretions discharged with coughing, sometimes with a small amount of blood.
