Symptoms of FRACTURED LARYNX
Injury to the larynx is typified by anterior neck pain, hoarseness, and the inability to make sounds. Coughing up blood may occur. There may be difficulty or pain with swallowing. Stridor, or sounds and increased resistance to air moving through the larynx, may occur. If stridor occurs, there is usually shortness of breath. Neck swelling due to local trauma as well as air trapped in the tissues of the neck is common.
