 ===Causes in Alphabetical Order===
-The [[voice box]] ([[larynx]]) is located at the top of the [[airway]] to the [[lungs]] ([[trachea]]). The [[larynx]] contains the [[vocal cords]]. When the [[vocal cords]] become [[inflamed]] or [[infected]], they [[swell]]. This can cause [[hoarseness]], and may sometimes block the [[airway]].
-The most common form of [[laryngitis]] is an [[infection]] caused by a [[virus]]. It may also be caused by:
-*[[Allergies]]
-*[[Bacterial infection]]
-*[[Bronchitis]]
-*[[Common cold]]
-* Excessive coughing
