Painful cricoid cartilage is considered a possible cause of cricoid arytenoid arthritis. If the inflammation is severe, it can cause functional dysphagia due to pain and varying degrees of hoarseness, causing inflammatory lesions in other parts of the body’s joints, as well as inflammation of the laryngeal joints, such as rheumatism, trauma, and infection, can cause cricoarytenoid arthritis. For the treatment of cricoarytenoid arthritis, if the cricoarytenoid arthritis is caused by rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis, glucocorticoid therapy is available. In the case of bacterial infection, antibiotics are required. If there is sore throat, it can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. It is recommended to visit the Department of Otolaryngology for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
