Laringitis - Prevención

Prevención:

El hecho de tratar de evitar las infecciones de las vías respiratorias superiores durante las épocas de gripe y de resfriados puede servir, al igual que lavarse las manos, evitar el contacto con personas con resfriados o gripe y evitar también los recintos muy concurridos.

El hecho de dejar de fumar puede ayudar a prevenir tumores de la cabeza, el cuello o los pulmones que pueden llevar a que se presente laringitis.
