Can I eat eggs with laryngitis?
Patients with laryngitis can eat eggs. Laryngitis is a common and frequent disease in otolaryngology, and it is divided into acute laryngitis and chronic laryngitis. The main causes of chronic laryngitis are long-term smoking, drinking, and physical and chemical stimulations, leading to chronic inflammation and congestion of the laryngeal mucosa. Patients will experience obvious foreign body sensation in the throat, hoarseness, and irritative cough among other symptoms. Acute laryngitis can be secondary to chronic laryngitis. When symptoms such as catching a cold or colds occur, patients will usually develop acute laryngitis, characterized by hoarseness and difficulty breathing. We should follow the physician’s guidance, promptly use an adequate amount of antibiotics and steroids for symptomatic treatment, and eliminate inflammation and edema of the throat mucosa to avoid laryngeal obstruction.
