Inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane of the larynx often appear as a result of influenza, ARVI. The disease can be caused by other factors - hypothermia, overstrain of the vocal apparatus, as a result of scarlet fever, measles, etc. Successful treatment of laryngitis depends on the identification of the root cause of its occurrence.
To get rid of the disease, it is important for the patient to observe the silence for about a week. In case of emergency, let's say a quiet whisper. Compliance with the rules of speech regime prevents the overstraining of the vocal cords and is the prevention of the development of chronic laryngitis.
Treatment regimen for laryngitis
Laryngitis is acute and chronic. Short-term (acute) course of the disease does not exceed one to two weeks. The symptomatology of the chronic process manifests itself two weeks or more. If the signs of laryngitis do not abate for a long time, it is best to consult a doctor, since the inflammation of the larynx can be caused by hidden pathologies of the body.
The medical specialist, first of all, will assign a diagnosis to determine the cause of the disease. The treatment regimen of laryngitis combines the following principles:
- compliance with the voice mode (complete silence or conversation in a whisper);
- psycho-emotional stability to prevent spasms;
- reception of warm milk with honey or Borjomi often, in small portions;
- air in the room with the patient should be fresh, warm and moist (use special moisturizers or put a basin of water);
- in food avoid - cold, hot, hot, salty dishes;
- steam inhalations with the addition of iodine, eucalyptus, anise or menthol oils are shown;
- apply compresses on the neck / chest or mustard plaster;
- good results are given by gargling with sage / chamomile infusion;
- hot foot baths;
- antihistamines are used;
- prohibited - smoking and drinking alcohol.
In some situations, the treatment of laryngitis requires steady-state conditions and drug therapy. Antibiotics are used according to the strict prescription of the treating doctor.
Treatment of chronic laryngitis
An integrated approach involving medicinal and physiotherapy methods, local and general effects is the most effective way to combat chronic laryngeal disease.
Local treatment of chronic laryngitis includes irrigation, lubrication of the mucous membrane with medicinal substances and softening vegetable oils. To influence the catarrhal, hyperplastic form of the disease, anti-inflammatory, astringent, enveloping agents are used. Manipulation with the larynx is carried out by an otorhinolaryngologist. At the atrophic form of the disease course, drugs with the properties of liquefaction of mucus, cortical formations, moistening of the mucosa and activating the work of the glandular system are prescribed. As a rule, iodine, vitamins and biostimulants are included in the therapy. An important place is inhalation.
Inhalation therapy is used after removal of crusts, mucus from the surface of mucous membranes, preventing the penetration of medicinal compounds. For this purpose, first use substances for liquefaction of mucus, remove plaque, as well as expectorants. As inhalable components are prescribed oils (sea buckthorn, dog rose), retinol (vitamin A) and others.
Treatment of laryngitis of chronic hypertrophic type may require aerosols with steroid components in combination with antibiotics. Patients are well helped by ultrasound therapy and ultraphoonophoresis with corticosteroid drugs. Effects on the hypertrophic form of the disease have several stages: eliminate inflammatory phenomena, only then restore the functions of the larynx. The final therapy will be classes with a phonopedist (speech and vocal preparation).
To get rid of atrophic laryngitis, inhalations with saline-alkaline (no more than 2% solution), alkaline-calcium, mineral waters, alkaline mixtures are widely used. At the same time, physiotherapy is carried out to improve blood circulation, trophic and laryngeal tissue exchange functions. In this case UHF-inductothermy and darsonvalization (treatment with impulse currents) are irreplaceable. Effective mud application on the larynx. The course with at least 10 sessions, and the temperature of mud 40 C, the duration of exposure to 10 minutes.
Diffuse form of chronic disease is classified as a precancerous condition. Patients with this kind of laryngitis are observed twice a year to detect malignant tissue at an early stage. Treatment of laryngitis is carried out in the conditions of the dispensary most often surgically, removing areas of hyperplasia using a microscope.
Treatment of acute laryngitis
In acute laryngitis (usually a consequence of acute respiratory viral infection), bed rest is required. The remaining cases are amenable to therapy without leaving the workplace, except for persons with voice-speaking professions (singers, actors, teachers, etc.).
Treatment of acute laryngitis includes restriction of speech activity, it is better to keep silent at all or to speak quietly on exhalation. Patients are advised to avoid excessively hot, cold, spicy foods, as well as drinking and smoking.
Expectorants are indicated with a thick, viscous discharge: mucaltin, tussin, stopptussin. To dilute sputum use: ACTS-long and fluimuccil (daily norm - 1 table), solvine, bromhexine.
Liquefy mucus and eliminate dry mucous will help alkaline mineral water (Borjomi) at room temperature or half diluted with warm milk.
Half-alcohol compresses on the neck zone, hot foot baths, mustard plasters for calves and legs, inhalations are all a treatment for acute laryngitis in the home.
A doctor can be prescribed an antibiotic bioparox in the form of an aerosol, which is used for ten days. The drug is inhaled by mouth 4 times at intervals of 4 hours. The drug is contraindicated in children under three years of age because of the possibility of laryngospasm.
In the physiotherapy room, medication is poured into the larynx using a special syringe. Physicians use solutions with antibiotics, hydrocortisone in the form of a suspension.

Treatment of cough with laryngitis
Symptoms of laryngitis are manifested hoarseness, perspiration in the throat, "barking" type of cough without separation of phlegm. Swelling of the laryngeal mucosa in the disease activates the cough receptors.
For relief of coughing attacks, substances with codeine, paxeladine, oxeladine, dextromethorphan, tusuprexom are used. To reduce the reaction of the mucosa to stimuli, libexine helps. The use of mucolytic drugs that provide sputum liquefaction during the period of therapy is prohibited. Treatment of cough with laryngitis is carried out by inhalation with budesonide. A strong cough is the cause of irritation and an increase in the frequency of seizures. This kind of discomfort is saved by rinsing the throat with saline solution (1/2 tsp per glass of water).
