Abstract
Chronic laryngitis symptoms are commonly seen in otherwise healthy people. This article
reviews recent progress in our understanding and effective treatment of chronic laryngitis.
Clinical experience and prospective treatment and outcome studies have demonstrated
objective evidence of the efficacy of treating patients with chronic laryngitis symptoms
with nocturnal antireflux precautions and acid-suppressing medications. The role of
pH testing and most common errors in treatment are reviewed.
