Laryngitis: inflammation
of the vocal chords inflicted by a virus, a bacteria or misuse of the
voice. Laryngitis is the most common condition and is often a
complication of
what seemed to have started as a simple cold. Repeated contact with
smoke, acid reflux and chemicals can also be held responsible
for laryngitis. It is very important to show
special care for the voice under attack because the swollen vocal
cords constantly irritating one another might lead to unwanted
tension and
consequently develop longer-term disorders such as vocal nodules, polyp
or
cysts.
