Chronic laryngitis is inflammation of the vocal cords that lasts for more than three weeks. It is often caused by irritants like smoking, acid reflux, or voice overuse. Symptoms include a hoarse voice, throat discomfort, and difficulty speaking. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause, such as quitting smoking, managing reflux, or voice therapy.
