Activity Description

Laryngitis refers to inflammation of the larynx. This is often due to an acute viral infection, typically a mild and self-limiting condition lasting 3 to 7 days. There are non-infectious causes and more serious conditions that can present with acute laryngeal symptoms, and practitioners must be familiar with the differential diagnosis and workup. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of acute laryngitis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

Please stop asking for evaluation after each question, or make it optional please. It is too much time to ask for cedits.
