When the throat becomes smaller, it may be caused by acute laryngitis, peritonsillar abscess, acute epiglottitis and other diseases.
1. Acute laryngitis: acute catarrhal inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa. Acute congestion and swelling of the laryngeal mucosa is seen under laryngoscopy, characterized by bilateral symmetry and diffuse, which can gradually develop to cause congestion and swelling of the ventricular zone and subglottic mucosa, with the aryepiglottic epiglottic folds of the vocal folds being the most significant. The most significant is the aryepiglottic folds of the vocal folds, resulting in a smaller throat.
2. Peritonsillar abscess: purulent inflammation of the tissue space around the tonsils, which is a common complication of acute tonsillitis, especially the acute onset of chronic tonsillitis, which can make the pharyngeal mucosa swollen and the throat become smaller.
3. Acute epiglottitis: acute inflammation of the epiglottis can lead to mucosal edema, epiglottis swelling can be spherical, which can easily lead to laryngeal obstruction.
It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention to identify the causes of throat size, and actively standardize the treatment of the disease to avoid aggravation of the condition after the cause of the disease is clear.
