Acute thermal ulceration of the epiglottis.
    Journal of the Mississippi State Medical Association, 2009, Volume: 50, Issue:8

    Thermal injury to the epiglottis as a result of ingestion of hot food should be considered in the differential diagnosis of earache, severe throat pain and odynophagia. We report a case of a 48-year-old physician, who developed acute, severe throat pain, odynophagia and earache after inadvertent ingestion of hot food. This case is unique, as the physician performed the endoscopy on himself and diagnosed thermal epiglottitis. The epiglottitis responded to a short course of steroids and antibiotics. The physician has remained symptom free since treatment.
