Billentybetegségek

Billentybetegségek refers to throat diseases, affecting the pharynx, larynx, and related structures. Common conditions include acute pharyngitis (with symptoms like severe ear, nose, throat discomfort), chronic pharyngitis (repeated irritation), tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils), and laryngitis (inflammation of the voice box). Symptoms typically involve throat pain, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and coughing. Causes may stem from infections (viral or bacterial), environmental factors such as dry air or smoke, allergies, or prolonged voice use. Diagnosis often involves physical examination, endoscopy, or laboratory tests. Treatment focuses on rest, hydration, and medication—antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral ones, and voice rest for laryngitis. Chronic cases may require surgical intervention. Proper prevention includes maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding irritants, and managing underlying conditions.
