Dealing with chronic hoarseness
August 25th, 2008
Chronic hoarseness may point to chronic laryngitis (such as vocal abuse and allergy), laryngeal carcinoma, lesions of the vocal cords, trauma to the vocal cords, systemic disease (such as hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, vitalization), or a psychogenic disorder. Chronic laryngitis may need more treatment, and if you keep getting laryngitis because of a problem with the way you talk or sing, you may need speech training. Chronic laryngitis lasts longer than two weeks, where environmental conditions such as allergens and pollutants can cause laryngitis.
