Can chronic laryngitis be prevented?

Some causes of chronic laryngitis are preventable while others are not. Smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and long-term overuse of your voice are all avoidable causes of chronic laryngitis. Additionally, if at all possible take precautions against upper respiratory infections like a cold and the flu, as repeated respiratory infections can also lead to chronic laryngitis. Acid reflux disease, cancer, and growing older are all other potential sources of chronic laryngitis, and these factors are not always preventable.
