Laryngitis Prevention

Avoidance of upper respiratory infections during cold and flu season may help. Using good hygienic practices such as hand washing, avoiding people with infectious respiratory illnesses, and avoiding crowded, close quarters (theaters and so on) may also help.

Smoking cessation can help prevent malignancies of the head and neck, and of the lungs, which may lead to laryngitis.
