Get a QuoteWhat is laryngitis?
Laryngitis is a common condition where the voice box (larynx) becomes inflamed, usually due to a viral infection, leading to symptoms such as a hoarse voice, sore throat, and difficulty speaking. In the UK, it affects many people each year, often alongside colds or other respiratory infections. For most individuals, symptoms can be managed with rest, hydration, and simple treatments.
It’s important that you discuss your laryngitis with a doctor before travelling, particularly if symptoms are ongoing or severe. They will need to ensure that you are fit to fly with laryngitis and that any symptoms are well managed.
With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage laryngitis continue to travel abroad with confidence.
Having the right travel insurance in place for laryngitis can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with laryngitis
- Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
- Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
- Stay well hydrated and rest your voice where possible
- Avoid environments that may irritate your throat, such as smoke or dry air
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, and if relevant, you will need to declare this on the policy.
Travel insurance is often still possible for people with laryngitis. What we can offer depends on your diagnosis and how it is managed, and answering the medical declaration accurately helps us bring forward the right cover.
