WEBEpiglottitis is a bacterial infection of the epiglottis and surrounding tissues. Epiglottitis may block the windpipe (trachea) and be fatal. The main symptoms are severe sore throat, drooling, and noisy, difficult breathing. Doctors make the diagnosis by looking at the epiglottis with a thin, flexible viewing tube, typically in an operating room.
