Laryngeal obstruction occurs when the airway through the larynx becomes blocked, making it difficult to breathe. This condition can result from various factors, including allergic reactions, infections, or physical obstructions like foreign objects or swelling. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, stridor (a high-pitched wheezing sound), and a feeling of tightness in the throat. Prompt medical attention is crucial for laryngeal obstruction, as it can lead to severe complications, including respiratory failure. Treatment options depend on the cause and may involve medications to reduce swelling, intubation to secure the airway, or surgical interventions to remove obstructions.
