Can laryngitis heal by itself?
Patients with laryngitis can be cured. The primary causes of laryngitis are related to factors such as long-term smoking and drinking, improper use of the voice, and catching colds. In patients with laryngitis, the affected areas are primarily located on the vocal cord mucosa and the bilateral aryepiglottic fold walls, where the surface mucosa becomes edematous. For patients with laryngitis, it is important to avoid catching colds in daily life and to protect the voice by avoiding prolonged talking. By resting the voice, the laryngitis can often heal itself. If the laryngitis repeatedly does not heal, symptomatic treatment can be administered by taking oral traditional Chinese medicine that clears the throat and benefits the voice, thereby eliminating the mucosal inflammation in the throat. (Please take medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
