message: The Mayo Clinic link is excellent 
The following links at least presents a laryngitis sub-link.
* VoiceInfo.org 
The sub-link points to 
http://homepage.mac.com/changcy/voicelaryngitis.htm
Perhaps it should be linked directly, as a search is needed on the currently-linked page to find it.  
Nothing obvious was found on these links on the subject of laryngitis.  If it's on a deep sublink, perhaps that page could be linked directly.  
* Singing Voice
* National Center for Voice and Speech's official website
* The Voice Academy's official website
* The Voice Foundation's official website

message: The article states that if it lasts a few days or less it is acute. If it lasts for more than three weeks it is chronic. What if it lasts for more than a few days and less than three weeks? What is the source of this info?
According to the NHS Choices website, acute laryngitis lasts upto three weeks, chronic laryngitis lasts more than three weeks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.197.174 (talk) 17:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acute vs Chronic 

message: Intro: Add prevalence and incidence?
Signs and Symptoms:
There's a lot of medical terminology here which is not that accessible to the general public. It should be kept in but more descriptions needed. Locate sources linking dysphagia or coughing up blood.
Causes:
This section is short and both the noninfectious and infectious sections are lacking in citations. The link between laryngitis and pneumonia should be clarified. 
Diagnosis:
This section is also short, we should include descriptions about how diagnosis is carried out. Further information required about chronic and acute types.  Perhaps move earlier sentence about acute/chronic time length into this section. Here, we might want to include types of laryngitis and measures/tools used in assessment as well as additional information regarding differential diagnosis.
Treatment and Prognosis:
These sections also require sources. Feels quite colloquial. Also add more regarding prescribed medication; some antibiotics are mentioned in text but the final line says they are not that effective (clarify).
General: Missing a lot of citations throughout. The alternating use of the terms "vocal folds" and "vocal cords" throughout the article can be confusing for the reader.
Possible sections to add according to medical templates on Wikipedia: 
-Anatomy, medical tests, surgeries and procedures, drugs or treatment, prevention or screening, treatment/management Ananaslp (talk) 23:51, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
