singer's laryngitis

Singer's laryngitis is inflammation of the vocal cords caused by voice overuse, strain, or irritants like infection or smoke. This condition leads to swelling, redness, and a hoarse or weakened voice, making singing difficult. It often results from excessive yelling, screaming, or prolonged voice use without proper rest. Treatment includes vocal rest, hydration, avoiding irritants, and sometimes medical therapies if related to infection. Restoring the voice allows the vocal cords to heal, preventing long-term damage. Proper vocal technique and voice management are key to preventing future episodes for singers.
