Abstract

Acute laryngitis is a frequent inflammatory disorder of the larynx that predominantly affects individuals of all age groups and is most often associated with viral respiratory infections, vocal overuse, and exposure to environmental irritants. Despite its generally benign and self-limiting nature, delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment may result in prolonged dysphonia, recurrent episodes, or transition to chronic laryngeal pathology. Early recognition of clinical symptoms, supported by timely laryngoscopic evaluation when necessary, allows effective management through conservative, non-invasive therapeutic approaches. Conservative treatment strategies, including voice rest, adequate hydration, humidified air, avoidance of vocal strain, and symptomatic therapy, play a central role in reducing mucosal inflammation and promoting rapid recovery of vocal function. Rational use of medications, particularly limiting antibiotics to confirmed bacterial cases, is essential to prevent unnecessary drug exposure and antimicrobial resistance. This abstract highlights the importance of early diagnosis and evidence-based conservative management in achieving favorable clinical outcomes, shortening disease duration, preventing complications, and preserving vocal health. Emphasis on patient education, voice hygiene, and environmental modification further enhances recovery and reduces the risk of recurrence, underscoring the value of conservative strategies in the modern management of acute laryngitis.
