My daughter got this when she was about nine months old she just looked like she had a cold she wasn't crying but something intuitively told me something was wrong she began to lose consciousness and I had to take her to the hospital because a doctor's clinic refused to see her because we were not registered. I had to find my own way to the hospital, in the hospital the doctors pinned me as an over-anxious mother and just gave her baby Capol they assumed her being unconscious was her sleeping, no one would listen to me. It wasn't till her arm swelled up and the side of her face turned a pink colour that any notice was taken they then took her oxygen levels they were so low that they did not believe the machines and used 3 different ones she was on the brink of death. My point in telling this story is that many doctors and nurses assume a child would have been blue or have a have blue-tinged lips but that was not the case for my daughter and has not been throughout her life with breathing issues, please if you are in the medical profession keep this in mind that some people with breathing issues can present with a blush colour as if feverish please don't take chances with young babies test their oxygen levels as even when she was put on oxygen when she fell asleep the machine would beep due to low oxygen please listen to parents they know what is normal for their child yes there will be the odd over anxious parent but they are very few and far between!

Very nice video. I watch them because I studied medicine 30 years ago but have forgotten lots. It would be very helpful to have the rarer medical words defined as you explained. Thanks.

I work emergency room. This video was so well done!! excellent job

Fantastic pictorial, thank you. Upper airway obstruction and strider are very scary and require emergency attention. Well done explaining this so well

Thank you so much... ❤ You have been my inspiration for years and will always be...

This is the best KZfaq channel ever created hands down

Excellent video - easily understandable even for me as a patient.

Symptoms of epiglottitis are usually rapid in onset and include trouble swallowing which can result in drooling, changes to the voice, fever, and an increased breathing rate. Thank you for explaining it in detail.

Just excellent.so well executed and simply explained..thanks a lot

Wow, you just uploaded this today! I've got my ENT exam in a week and your videos have been so helpful today. Thankyou so much! Subscribed.

I just got out of the hospital with this condition. It's no joke. My throat closed up in a matter of 2 days and I had no idea. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please go to the ER immediately, because it could mean your life

I once saw a video of an emergency medicine doctor who overlooked the diagnosis of epiglottitis and the patient died. He was crying on stage... These mistakes must be really tough on everyone. Thank you for your awesome presentation!

Very nice video, Armando!

Nice effort, but what is the proper treatment in case of viral epiglottitis ? Other than the rest and pain killers.

Amazing video,thanks !

i was hospitalized for 9 days for epligotitis i came home recently and wanted to learn more about it. i will say this im 32 years old i was fine the day before.. i woke up with a slight discomfort that morning but by 10pm i couldnt breath or swallow. by the time i called 911 it was really bad i vomited and nearly drowned myself. when the EMT got there they fought to put a tube down my throat which i tried to fight against until we got to the hospital. once we got out the ambulance i was freaking out the last thing i remember is saying i was dying, peeing myself then waking up days later with a terrible case of delirium which lasted the rest of the time because of the drugs they put me on. when i got home they placed me on a steroid so i wonder if they had a conclusive study since the making of this video. i did learn a lot thanks.

Can't thank you enough for this video.

Keep uploading bro.

The video was a great help

Excellent video. Much obliged!

God bless you

How long does it take for your epiglottis to return back to normal after taking antibiotics?

Excellent video thanks 😊

Great workkk...!

You're a legend

Mine is not painful but it irritates me. I feel like the is something in my throat and when i put my finger down the i feel it.

I’ve never been able to see my epiglottis before but today I noticed it and I was pretty concerned. It’s annoying cause a few days ago I got a canker sore near my tonsils which made it slightly annoying to swallow but now seeing my epiglottis has me a bit concerned. Im happy to learn how serious it could be.

I admire you so much!

The information you’re saying are exactly like the ones in my lecture 😂 (it’s a rare incident)

Well done be good from now on

Great video

U always saved me man

Thank you so much

mine is like that now for the first time but i can still breath. thank goddness!!!! But it is irrtating i can feel like all the time for four days now.

tripod position not sniffing ???

Which tablet concern to this problem

There’s a kid in Delaware day schools it makes himself vomit supposed to be anyway when he doesn’t want to do something I was thinking that he could just remove his epiglottis and replace it with something else so that I won’t be able to do that

Perfect... Tnx

Thank you sir...

God bless I got this

thank u so much

Thank you

But i dont have any fever

strep pneumo is alpha hemolytic

I have epiglottis plz say me how to cure 🙏🏻

I had this. Discharged today from hospital. Does anyone know if taking the Hib vaccine hells prevent any reoccurrence

An epiglottitis is very, very painful. I still remember the day I had it as a child... not fun 😅

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank yuooooooo sir♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thanq

i had a fever and a lil bit of a sore throat but didnt think much till i looked at my throat. i can see it peeking out in the back of my throat and can feel it touch the top of my throat when i swallow. will it go away on its own or should i seek medical attention?

Thankyou ❤

Iam 21 i see my epiglottis in mirror is there any prbm about it pls explain?

thank you

Shocking thetes no proper study for this and its so dangerous.. and preventative measures are... ? Vitamin C intravenous ?

Oh I got a hyperthyroidism

Prefer your hand drawings a 100 times over animated work!

I have too.. how to cure it 😢

Could this come from smoking a vape pen?

Obatnya

I was in wrestling and my neck kinda cracked. I thought nothing of it until i talked and my voice sounded muffled and it feels uncomfortable to swallow. It feels very different from other things ive felt. Could i possibly have this.

Now am really scared, my 7year old has that structure visible but no symptoms and the GP I saw said pharyngitis. Though she has no complaints of pain or difficulty in swallowing. She's already on antibiotics, am heading to paediatric ENT tomorrow.

I can see my Epiglottis and I freaking out, too afraid to go to hospital cause they are hotspot for covid19

1:25

I'm 19 year old and I have a visible Epigoltis, but don't face any prblm while eating or drinking however I can feel something stuck in my throat, is it normal or not

Complications are, airway loss aaand death xDddd

Awesome sir #khanmedicozz

You can add Covid 19 as a cause too! I am getting over Covid now but it was really bad for a while. I discovered this condition, which I definitely had. I didn’t quite need any extra help which is good considering.

I can see my epiglottis

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank yuooooooo sir♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
