Acute epiglottitis is a life‑threatening emergency usually caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in children.

Classic features:

Sudden onset of high fever
Severe sore throat but minimal oropharyngeal findings
Drooling of saliva (due to painful swallowing)
Stridor (upper airway obstruction)
Muffled voice (“hot potato voice”)
Tripod position (child sits leaning forward to ease breathing)

Differentiation from croup:

Croup: gradual onset, barking cough, usually viral, child not toxic.

Epiglottitis: rapid onset, drooling, toxic appearance, no barking cough.

Management:

Do not attempt throat examination with tongue depressor (risk of sudden airway obstruction).
Secure airway (endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy if needed).
IV antibiotics (e.g., ceftriaxone).
Supportive care.
