Kuma idan hakan ta faru, yana iya saurin zama yanayin barazanar rayuwa.

"Epiglottitis yana haifar da kamuwa da cuta, yawanci ta hanyar kwayoyin cuta da ake kira Haemophilus mura type B, wanda ke haifar da bakin ciki ya zama zagaye kuma ya kumbura, kamar jan ceri, yana toshe bututun iska," in ji Robert Hamilton, MD, likitan yara a Providence Saint.

"Akwai maganin rigakafi na HiB da ke ba da kariya daga kwayoyin cutar da ke da alhakin yawancin lokuta na epiglottitis, amma yawancin manya ba su samu ba," in ji Hamilton. (Alurar rigakafin, wanda kuma ke ba da kariya daga cutar sankarau da ciwon huhu, ba a samu yaɗuwa ba har zuwa 1987, ma'ana mutanen da aka haifa kafin wannan lokacin, kamar Silverman, ko dai sun kamu da cutar tun suna yara don samun nasu rigakafi ko kuma sun kasance masu saurin kamuwa da cutar. )

"Masu fama da ciwon makogwaro gabaɗaya suna fama da ciwon makogwaro da zazzaɓi. Wane irin rashin lafiya ne wannan yake kama? Da yawa duka, "in ji shi.

Amma yayin da cutar ke ci gaba da sauri, marasa lafiya suna nuna "yunwar iska," ma'ana matakan iskar oxygen suna raguwa yayin da suke aiki tuƙuru don numfashi. Wataƙila alamar da aka fi sani da ita shine tipping kai baya da sama don gwadawa da buɗe hanyar iska.
