Overview
Laryngitis is an ancient disease. In 1840, Dr. Jordan Roche Lynch, an English physician, published a case study on the treatment of acute laryngitis.[1] In 2005, Drs. Reveiz, Cardona, and Ospina demonstrated that antibiotics were not effective in the treatment of laryngitis.[2]

- In 1840, Dr. Jordan Roche Lynch, an English physician, published a case study on the treatment of acute laryngitis.[1] This case study appears to be the oldest accessible finding of laryngitis in Western literature, however, it appears the disease had been well studied prior.
- In 2005, Drs. Reveiz, Cardona, and Ospina demonstrated that antibiotics were not effective in the treatment of laryngitis.[2]
