Pain When Swallowing
Swelling in the vocal cords in laryngitis may cause pain when swallowing. This is due to the act of swallowing, which places pressure on the swollen sections of your throat.
It's important to note, however, that it shouldn't be impossible to swallow nor should it be difficult to breathe. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice an inability to swallow or difficulty breathing. These concerning symptoms are most likely to appear in children with laryngitis.6‘Laryngitis: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001385.htm
