Symptoms in Adults
Typical symptoms of epiglottitis in adults include drooling, trouble swallowing, breathing issues, high-pitched or abnormal sounds when breathing in, a hoarse or muffled voice, fever, and serious sore throat. Unlike children, these signs in adults tend to develop gradually over the course of several days. Some of these problems can be similar to those of croup. Therefore, make sure to visit a healthcare provider to get a precise diagnosis. [6]
