Upper Respiratory Infection
OBJECTIVES: To review the evidence regarding the effectiveness of orally ingested Echinacea extracts in reducing the incidence, severity, or duration of acute upper respiratory infections (URIs). SEARCH STRATEGIES: Information from a wide range of sources was used as background material. More than 100 articles,[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Esophagitis
This rare disorder should be considered in patients presenting with sudden-onset retrosternal pain in addition to dysphagia and odynophagia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The disease is characterized by esophageal symptoms, primarily dysphagia in adult patients, and esophageal eosinophilic infiltration.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a unique form of non-IgE-mediated food allergy characterized by esophageal eosinophilic infiltration that commonly causes dysphagia and food[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Oral Candidiasis
In the OIRR group, 65.2 percent of patients who experienced dysphagia developed oral candidiasis, compared with only 10 percent in the ONIRR group.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
More frequently, however, it is physically uncomfortable, and the patient may complain of burning mouth, dysgeusia, dysphagia, anorexia, and weight loss, leading to nutritional[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Data were recorded on the following secondary outcomes if present: relief of pain, amount of analgesia, relief of dysphagia, incidence of systemic infection, duration of stay[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Tonsillitis
Abstract A 45-year-old woman presented to the emergency department (ED) with a 3-day history of fever, progressive sore throat, dysphagia, and difficulty speaking.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of an otherwise healthy man who presented with dysphagia, odynophagia and neck pain following a sore throat.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acute: temporary tonsillitis that includes sore throat, fever, dysphagia, and other symptoms Recurrent: several episodes of acute tonsillitis within a year Chronic: ongoing[entshadygrove.com]

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Outcomes selected were recurrent or persistent postoperative dysphagia and an abnormal 24-hour pH test result.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The case of a patient with intermittent dysphagia and suspected GERD is discussed. Pharyngoesophageal scintigraphy was performed. Reflux test was negative.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We used the total number of patients in the study and the follow-up duration to calculate dysphagia rates.[doi.org]
Stroke
The symptoms improved after forced diuresis, but 5.5 h later progression was observed, and the patient developed diplopia and dysphagia in addition to her initial symptoms[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of an 84-year old right-handed man who presented to hospital with dysarthria, dysphagia, right-sided facial drop, a history of generalized[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chronic Laryngitis
The most common symptoms were dysphonia (53%), pain/soreness (45%), globus sensation (40%), cough (33%), excessive throat clearing (28%), and dysphagia (32%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) or odynophagia (pain on swallowing). Signs of serious systemic illness.[patient.info]
Dysphagia. Globus pharyngeus (feeling of a lump in the throat). Continual throat clearing. Myalgia. Fever. Fatigue and malaise.[patient.info]
Pharyngitis
An 83-year-old man with well-controlled diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted due to dyspnea, odynophagia, and dysphagia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In severe cases, there may be dysphagia for fluids and even for saliva. Patients with fungal infections present with oral thrush in most of the cases.[symptoma.com]

Acute Laryngitis
Fever, malaise, dysphagia, and throat pain may occur in more severe infections. Laryngeal edema, although rare, may cause stridor and dyspnea.[merckmanuals.com]
