Inflammation of the voice box (10)

I believe the answer is:

laryngitis

(Other definitions for laryngitis that I've seen before include "Throat infection" , "Inflammation of the vocal cords" , "Sore throat" , "Inflammation of part of throat" , "Inflammation making it difficult to speak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
