What Causes Swelling In Throat, Feeling Of Obstruction After Treating Acute Epiglottitis?
I was hospitalized with Acute Eppiglotittis 2 months ago and my throat feels like it is swelling again, and when I swallow it feels like there is something stuck in my throat, but its lower, just about at my thyroid, and my uvula has scab on it and throat pretty inflamed. Do I need to seek help before regular office hours of my ENT ?

Hello,
Mostly after Acute Epiglotitis, in the post infective period, minimal swelling in and around the epiglottis may be present. But 2 months is a pretty long time.
I dont think it is a urgent issue, but yes its better to have a ENT opinion.
