Dry Cough
Laryngitis may produce a dry cough. Dry coughs aren't productive, meaning they don't bring up any mucus or phlegm. A dry cough is a common bodily reaction to the inflammation in your throat. This cough may happen alongside a tickling or itching sensation.
A dry cough can make sore throats and inflammation in laryngitis worse because it's irritating. Over-the-counter or prescription medications can help manage coughing so the vocal cords have time to heal.
