Laryngitis is a relatively common otolaryngology disease, and generally, it is not particularly severe. The more common types of laryngitis include acute laryngitis and chronic laryngitis. Clinically, it mainly manifests as sore throat, hoarseness, and a foreign body sensation in the throat. In terms of treatment, medication remains the main approach. For acute laryngitis, oral antibiotics can be considered, commonly cephalosporins or penicillins. For chronic laryngitis, taking traditional Chinese medicine orally can be considered, and it is advisable to combine this with nebulizer therapy, with regular follow-ups to monitor recovery. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
