What is Epiglottitis?
Epiglottitis is a serious condition where the epiglottis swells, blocking the airway and causing breathing difficulties. It requires immediate medical attention.

Causes of Epiglottitis

• Bacterial infections (Haemophilus influenzae)
• Trauma to the throat
• Burns from hot liquids or chemicals

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dr. Sachin Goel’s Clinic, we diagnose epiglottitis using fiber-optic laryngoscopy and imaging.

Treatment options include:

• Emergency Airway Management: In severe cases.
• Antibiotic Therapy: If bacterial infection is confirmed.
