Prognosis and prophylaxis
If laryngeal pain occurs once after vomiting, this usually has no major disease value. Repeated laryngeal pain as a result of vomiting can, however, be accompanied by serious damage to the larynx and in the long term can even cause cancer of the throat. Laryngeal cancer can only be treated curatively by surgical removal of the larynx and, depending on the form of the cancer, can be associated with a poor prognosis and reduced life expectancy. Preventively, it only helps to identify and treat the trigger for vomiting.
