Hoarseness is an inflammation of the larynx that results in a change in the voice, making it sound breathy, raspy, scratchy or strained. There may be changes in volume and pitch, as well. Hoarseness falls under the medical category of dysphonia, which refers to voice impairment or any sort of difficulty speaking.<\/p>\n

What Causes Hoarseness? <\/h2>\n

Hoarseness is the result of a problem with the vocal cords. It can be caused by a variety of different conditions in children including cold or sinus infections, acute laryngitis, voice misuse or abuse, benign vocal cord lesions, acid reflux, vocal hemorrhage, thyroid diseases, cancer, and papillomatosis. <\/p>\n

How Is Hoarseness Treated? <\/h2>\n

Many times, hoarseness clears up on its own without any sort of medical intervention. Many parents take a wait-and-see approach, treating symptoms with home remedies that include resting the voice, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. Making certain lifestyle changes and avoiding activities that cause vocal cord strain such as shouting, whispering, or using inappropriate pitch or volume \u2013 are all helpful ways to reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with chronic hoarseness.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, a trip to see an otolaryngologist or other ENT specialist is necessary. If hoarseness lasts longer than three weeks, is not accompanied by cold or flu symptoms, affects your ability to swallow or breathe or otherwise interferes with your livelihood, schedule an appointment with Comprehensive ENT<\/span>.<\/p>\n

You will be given a thorough physical examination, including the ears, nose, and throat, and may be given a laryngoscopy or other special test to help analyze the vocal folds. Treatment depends on the cause and may include drugs, surgery, and\/or voice therapy.<\/p>\n
