This disease has a good prognosis in babies and infants. Sinus Infection (Sinusitis) Sinus infection (sinusitis) is caused by allergies, infection, and chemicals or other irritants of sinuses. [medicinenet.com]

Etiology The etiology for acute laryngitis can be classified as infectious and non-infectious. The infectious form is more common and usually follows the upper respiratory tract infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients who develop acute laryngitis from an infectious etiology rather than vocal trauma may ultimately injure their vocal folds. [emedicine.medscape.com]

When the etiology of acute laryngitis is infectious, white blood cells remove microorganisms during the healing process. The vocal folds then become more edematous, and vibration is adversely affected. [medscape.com]
