      Laryngitis, an inflammation of the voice box (larynx), can be caused by various factors. In Bangladesh, the common causes include:

      Infectious Causes:
      -Viral Infections: The most frequent cause, often associated with common colds, influenza, and other respiratory viruses.
      -Bacterial Infections: Less common but can occur, particularly with bacteria like Streptococcus.
      -Fungal Infections: Can occur in individuals with weakened immune systems or those using inhaled steroids.

      Non-Infectious Causes:-
      -Vocal Strain: Overuse of the voice through shouting, singing, or prolonged speaking.
      -Allergies: Exposure to allergens can irritate the larynx.
      -Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Acid reflux can irritate the larynx and cause chronic laryngitis.
      -Smoking and Alcohol: Both can irritate the vocal cords and lead to laryngitis.

      Environmental Factors:-
      -Pollution: High levels of air pollution can contribute to respiratory issues, including laryngitis.
      -Exposure to Irritants: Chemicals, dust, and other irritants in the environment can cause laryngeal inflammation.

      Maintaining good hygiene, avoiding irritants, and managing underlying health conditions can help reduce the risk of laryngitis.
