Heal Your Laryngitis at Our Pearland ENT Clinic

When you have a sore throat due to a cold, you know how difficult it can sometimes be to speak clearly. For those that suffer from laryngitis, it can feel like they cannot speak at all, and straining to be heard is too much of a challenge, and simply causes more pain in the throat. At our ENT clinic in Pearland, we can heal your laryngitis and help you speak normally once again.

Laryngitis can either be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), but regardless of the longevity, it's important to seek treatment right away. The vocal cords, which cover muscle and cartilage in the larynx, become inflamed or irritated due to overuse or infection, and speaking can become a chore. It's possible for laryngitis to heal on its own, but the frustration of not being able to talk and the feeling of a chronic sore throat can motivate people to find treatment from an ENT specialist.

If your voice has been hoarse for some time, or you're suffering from a chronic dry cough, it's possible that you're suffering from laryngitis. The staff at our Pearland ENT clinic can properly diagnose your symptoms and discover if your vocal cords are indeed inflamed or infected. We'll recommend the proper treatment and medication, as well as resting your vocal cords so that the strain of speaking doesn't cause your condition to worsen. With the proper combination of treatment and time, you should be able to speak normally. If you have questions about our ENT treatment, please contact us today.
