Medications for Laryngitis
Some Medications for Laryngitis will make you drowsy or uncertain of where you are, mostly like short term memory lost. Symptoms are usually temporary unless there is another problem. If your symptoms also include severe pain, difficulty swallowing, coughing up blood, or a noticeable lump in your neck, you should see a doctor right away. A child who has severe pain, drooling, and difficulty breathing may have epiglottitis, a serious condition that requires emergency care. Adults also get epiglottitis, but it is more common in children.

Commercial external links?
The Mayo Clinic link is excellent

The following links at least presents a laryngitis sub-link.


 * VoiceInfo.org

The sub-link points to

http://homepage.mac.com/changcy/voicelaryngitis.htm

Perhaps it should be linked directly, as a search is needed on the currently-linked page to find it.

Nothing obvious was found on these links on the subject of laryngitis. If it's on a deep sublink, perhaps that page could be linked directly.

Acute vs Chronic
The article states that if it lasts a few days or less it is acute. If it lasts for more than three weeks it is chronic. What if it lasts for more than a few days and less than three weeks? What is the source of this info?

According to the NHS Choices website, acute laryngitis lasts upto three weeks, chronic laryngitis lasts more than three weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.197.174 (talk) 17:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Things to work on in article
Intro: Add prevalence and incidence?

Signs and Symptoms: There's a lot of medical terminology here which is not that accessible to the general public. It should be kept in but more descriptions needed. Locate sources linking dysphagia or coughing up blood.

Causes: This section is short and both the noninfectious and infectious sections are lacking in citations. The link between laryngitis and pneumonia should be clarified.

Diagnosis: This section is also short, we should include descriptions about how diagnosis is carried out. Further information required about chronic and acute types. Perhaps move earlier sentence about acute/chronic time length into this section. Here, we might want to include types of laryngitis and measures/tools used in assessment as well as additional information regarding differential diagnosis.

Treatment and Prognosis: These sections also require sources. Feels quite colloquial. Also add more regarding prescribed medication; some antibiotics are mentioned in text but the final line says they are not that effective (clarify).

General: Missing a lot of citations throughout. The alternating use of the terms "vocal folds" and "vocal cords" throughout the article can be confusing for the reader.

Possible sections to add according to medical templates on Wikipedia: -Anatomy, medical tests, surgeries and procedures, drugs or treatment, prevention or screening, treatment/management Ananaslp (talk) 23:51, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I agree that we should add medical tests (ie laryngoscopy, stroboscopy). We could add a section on prevention (ie proper voice health) too. Yvrslp2b (talk) 04:20, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Are we able to use the course textbook, "Understanding Voice Problems" by Colton, Casper and Leonard as a source? Yes, I believe so! Yvrslp2b (talk) 04:24, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Why would that belong in this article? It is just a duplication of what is found at larynx Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 14:43, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
