Who suffers from laryngitis?

Laryngitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the larynx, also known as the voice box. It can affect people of all ages, but it is most common in adults. Some people are more likely to develop laryngitis than others, including:

* People who smoke

* People who drink alcohol excessively

* People who have allergies or asthma

* People who have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

* People who have a weakened immune system

* People who use their voices a lot, such as singers, actors, and teachers

Laryngitis can also be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. In most cases, laryngitis is a mild condition that goes away on its own within a few days. However, in some cases, laryngitis can be more severe and may require medical treatment.
