While Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis primarily affect the digestive tract, they can occasionally cause inflammation in the throat or larynx. Patients may notice sore throat, hoarseness, or a burning sensation in the throat during a digestive flare-up. These cases are uncommon and usually resolve once the bowel disease is under control. We can evaluate the larynx to rule out other causes of inflammation. If needed, we may prescribe a short course of oral or inhaled steroids, but usually, no procedures or surgeries are required.
