View detailsAcute epiglottitis
The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped structure composed of cartilage and mucous membrane, located in the throat, which prevents food or liquid from entering the trachea during swallowing. Acute epiglottitis is an acute inflammation of the epiglottis caused by infection, trauma, or other factors, also known as acute supraglottic laryngitis. Common symptoms of this disease include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever.

Rhinoscleroma, also known as scleroma, sclerotic nose, or respiratory scleroma, is a low-contagious, chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. This disease often initially affects the nose and slowly progresses to the upper lip, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, trachea, and bronchi, forming hard granulomatous inflammatory masses that lead to deformity or obstruction. Therefore, it is also known as respiratory scleroma.
Nasal vestibulitis
Nasal vestibulitis refers to a widespread inflammation of the nasal vestibule skin caused by repeated irritation from nasal secretions. The nasal vestibule is the relatively wide anterior and inferior part of the nasal cavity, primarily located on the inner surface of the nasal ala and tip. The main symptoms of nasal vestibulitis include localized pain, redness, swelling, itching, and dryness.

Pharyngeal and laryngeal malignancies refer to malignant tumors that occur in the pharynx and larynx. Initially, there is often a foreign body sensation in the throat, and a feeling of food residue after eating. As the tumor progresses, symptoms such as painful swallowing, difficulty swallowing, and neck masses may appear. In the late stages of the disease, manifestations such as emaciation and anemia may occur.
View detailsLaryngeal hemangioma
Laryngeal hemangioma is rare, with a relatively higher incidence in infants and young children. Clinically, it is divided into capillary hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma. Capillary hemangioma consists of clusters of blood vessels with a small amount of connective tissue in between, and is more common in adults or older children. Cavernous hemangioma consists of sinusoidal blood vessels, is soft like a sponge, grows diffusely beneath the mucosa, and is more common in infants and young children. The main symptoms of laryngeal hemangioma include bloody secretions, hoarseness, and cough.
