Lanryngitis, tussis, pyrexia & cephalgia

Sorry guys, forgotten that some of my friends do not have medical background.

Simple explanation of lanryngitis, tussis, pyrexia & cephalgia

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Hmm actually i think the term that i use in my fb on last sunday was wrong. It should be pharyngitis which means an inflammation of the throat or pharynx. In most cases it is painful and the initial infection can extend for a lengthy time period. It is the most common cause of a sore throat.

Tussis actually is cough which means a sudden and often repetitively occurring reflex which helps to clear the large breathing passages from secretions, irritants, foreign particles and microbes. Frequent coughing usually indicates the presence of a disease. In my case, the cough caused by the pharyngitis that i had and it was productive cough which mean that i cough phlegm or sputum out to clear my throat from the foreign particles etc.

Pyrexia or controlled hyperthermia is a common medical sign characterized by an elevation of temperature above the normal range of 36.5–37.5 °C (98–100 °F) due to an increase in the body temperature regulatory set-point or in a simple word, fever.

A headache or cephalgia is pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck. It can be a symptom of a number of different conditions of the head and neck.

Thanks wikipedia for making my life easier explain this term.

I hope that, all of this illnesses will mend before raya.

Ameen...

Good night & wassalam.
