[1] [2] As the epiglottis is in the upper airway, swelling can interfere with breathing. [7] People may lean forward in an effort to open the airway. [1] As the condition worsens, stridor and bluish skin may occur. [1] Epiglottitis was historically mostly caused by infection by H. influenzae type b (commonly referred to as "Hib"). [1]
The epiglottis is made of elastic cartilage covered with a mucous membrane, attached to the entrance of the larynx. It projects upwards and backwards behind the tongue and the hyoid bone. The epiglottis may be inflamed in a condition called epiglottitis, which is most commonly due to the vaccine-preventable bacterium Haemophilus influenzae.
Mouth infections, also known as oral infections, are a group of infections that occur around the oral cavity. They include dental infection , dental abscess , and Ludwig's angina . Mouth infections typically originate from dental caries at the root of molars and premolars that spread to adjacent structures.
Its place of articulation is epiglottal, which means it is articulated with the aryepiglottic folds against the epiglottis. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
Nasal obstruction characterized by insufficient airflow through the nose can be a subjective sensation or the result of objective pathology. [10] It is difficult to quantify by subjective complaints or clinical examinations alone, hence both clinicians and researchers depend both on concurrent subjective assessment and on objective measurement of the nasal airway.
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils in the upper part of the throat.It can be acute or chronic. [8] [9] [2] Acute tonsillitis typically has a rapid onset. [10]Symptoms may include sore throat, fever, enlargement of the tonsils, trouble swallowing, and enlarged lymph nodes around the neck.
Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Epiglottitis. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society.The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003 [3] and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.
