Inflammatory laryngeal diseases, such as viral laryngitis and acute supraglottitis, can significantly affect a patient’s quality of life, primarily through their effects on the voice and swallowing function. Deglutition disorder, or dysphagia, is a common symptom in patients with laryngeal inflammation. The symptoms of inflammatory laryngeal diseases are often similar and difficult to differentiate, regardless of the specific type of disease. In addition, several systemic diseases can affect the larynx and trachea, presenting symptoms ranging from hoarseness to airway obstruction. Differentiating between laryngeal inflammatory diseases and systemic diseases in adults and children that cause dysphagia is essential to ensure prompt and appropriate treatment.
