The person wants to go directly to the emergency department.
Generally speaking, only very urgent conditions require visiting the emergency department.
For something like a sore, swollen throat, most cases wouldn't warrant an emergency visit.
"I suspect it's acute epiglottitis, but whether it is or not requires hospital examination."
Zhang Lingchuan replied.
This issue isn't something he can diagnose with X-rays and Super Sonic Ear; it's best left to the hospital.
"Ah! Acute epiglottitis!!!"
In the moment, Liang Xiangxiang and He Xiaohong jumped up.
"Sis, what's acute epiglottitis??"
Seeing her sister and colleague so agitated, Liang Jingjing, who has no medical knowledge, looked on with curiosity.
"How should I put this, it's a life-threatening emergency."
Liang Xiangxiang began educating her sister.
The epiglottis is part of the throat.
It can be likened to a lid.
