Pill-induced laryngitis is an extremely rare phenomenon. While typically associated with bisphosphonates, this condition should be considered in any patient presenting with dysphonia and history of aspiration of a pill, including iron supplements. Regardless of the inciting medication, pill-induced laryngitis may be treated with humidified air, nebulized steroids, and antibiotics. Injection augmentation of the vocal folds may be made considered when glottic insufficiency and weak cough contribute to the presentation.
