Laryngeal Disorders

Laryngeal disorders refer to issues affecting the larynx, commonly known as the voice box, which plays a key role in speaking, breathing, and protecting the airway during swallowing. These disorders can include hoarseness, chronic cough, voice changes, or difficulty swallowing. They may arise from infections, allergies, overuse of the voice, or conditions like nodules or cancers. Treatment often involves lifestyle changes, speech therapy, medication, or surgery depending on the severity. Understanding laryngeal disorders is essential for maintaining vocal health and overall well-being.
