History and physical: Laryngotracheitis is an acute condition usually caused by viruses that affect the voice box, the large and the small airways. You often get hoarseness or croupy cough, productive cough with phlegm and often wheezing. Your doctor can put it all together for you from history, physical exam and possibly a test or two. What you are likely to have also depends on your overall health.
