Warning Signs Of Laryngitis

Dry Cough

A dry cough and constant itch in the throat brought on by laryngitis can be due to mucus running down the back of the throat and nasal tract irritation. A productive cough clears away irritants through phlegm or mucus, but an unproductive cough just irritates the throat and doesn't alleviate any symptoms. Coughing and soreness typically resolve along with laryngitis within a week. During this week, patients should make sure to drink plenty of fluids to aid the movement of mucus throughout the upper respiratory tract. Drinking hot teas with raw honey have been proven to soothe the throat and subdue coughs.
