## Resource

In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at acute laryngitis, a condition that is both common and deceptively complex. Often dismissed as a simple cold-related voice change, acute laryngitis actually offers GPs insights into airway physiology, vocal mechanics and clinical reasoning. Understanding the nuances of this condition is essential. We look at its typical presentation, from sudden hoarseness and vocal fatigue to dry cough, and discuss red flags that signal more serious pathology. We also consider infectious and non-infectious causes, management strategies and the subtle ways patient behaviour and environment can influence recovery.
