Patient follow up in OPD 10 days after being discharged
During a follow-up visit at the outpatient department, the patient
underwent a thorough physical examination, was unremarkable. The patient
appeared alert, was in no distress, and was otherwise in a good state of
health. To assess the condition of the epiglottis and the surrounding
airway structures, video laryngoscopy was performed. The procedure aimed
to evaluate the presence of residual inflammation and to ensure the
trachea remained unobstructed.
The findings from the video laryngoscopy were encouraging. There was a
marked reduction in the epiglottic inflammation (as demonstrated inFigure 2A ), and the vocal cords were clearly visualized without
any signs of swelling or obstruction (Figure 2B ). Additionally,
the examination confirmed that the trachea was open and fully patent,
with the surrounding anatomical structures being normal in appearance
(Figure 2C ). These observations were indicative of a positive
response to treatment and a significant recovery from the initial
presentation.
