Prognosis
Most cases of laryngitis are viral and resolve without treatment with sufficient voice rest.
Laryngitis, hoarseness, or breathiness that lasts for more than two weeks may signal a
voice disorder and should be followed up with a voice pathologist. This is typically
a vocology certified SLP (speech language pathologist) or a laryngologist (voice
specialized ENT).
