Overview

Based on the duration of symptoms, laryngitis may be classified into either acute or chronic.[1]

Classification

Based on the duration of symptoms, laryngitis may be classified into either acute or chronic.[1] Generally, acute laryngitis has an abrupt onset and is self-limiting; typically, it clears within 3-5 days.[2] Chronic laryngitis may be defined as lasting greater than 3 weeks.[3]
