得！快速回顾一下：喉炎是一种声带的炎症，产生发音困难、吞咽困难、困难的临床表现。

Generally speaking, for acute laryngitis, the treatment is resting the vocal cords, as well as getting fluids, and pain medications.

对于性喉炎，治疗就是让声带休息、多饮水，以及疼痛处理。

Acute laryngitis usually lasts for less than three weeks, and usually resolves on its own, although antibiotics are helpful for bacterial laryngitis.

性喉炎通常病程不超过3周，具有自限性，但抗生素对细菌感染性喉炎很有。

So laryngitis comes down to the three D's: dysphonia, dysphagia, and dyspnea.

我们把喉炎归纳于3个D：dysphonia发音困难、dysphagia吞咽困难、dyspnea困难。

In chronic laryngitis the normal columnar cells undergo dysplasia, which is when they transform into squamous epithelium to adapt to the chronic irritation.

慢性喉炎中，正常柱状细胞异型增生转变为鳞状上皮细胞，来适应慢性刺激。

Acute laryngitis is most common and it's usually due to an upper respiratory tract infection, most often due to a virus.

性喉炎是最常见的，通常由于上道感染，最常见病因为病毒感染。

Chronic laryngitis is less common and it's associated with allergies, or the result of chronic exposure to irritating agents, like cigarette smoke.

For chronic laryngitis, it's important to treat the underlying issue, for example, using allergy medication, avoiding irritating agents, and using gastroesophageal reflux medications.

对于慢性喉炎，处理原发病很重要，比如施用抗过敏药物、避开过敏原以及施用抗胃食管反流药物。

In acute laryngitis, the goblet cells to over secrete mucus leading to congestion of the airway, and immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages release chemicals that cause pain and swelling.

性喉炎中，杯状细胞分泌过多黏液，导致气道阻塞；免疫细胞如中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞释放化学物质产生疼痛和肿胀感。

Another complication is when the reflux goes all the way back up to the pharynx, and then into the larynx, in which case it can cause laryngitis or even asthma.

另一个并发症是当反流至咽部，然后进入喉时，它会引起喉炎，甚至哮喘。

Reflux laryngitis is another cause of chronic laryngitis and develops in people with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease where acid from the stomach goes all the way up the esophagus into the pharynx.

反流性喉炎是另一个慢性喉炎的病因，见于严重胃食管反流病的患者：胃酸通过食管，向上进入咽部。
