SCALDS AND BURNS OF THE PHARYNX. Injuries by heat are not uncommon, especially among children of the poor, in whom they frequently follow inhalation of steam from the teapot. They are sometimes caused in adults, by the inhalation of steam, flame, or hot air, as in burning vessels or buildings. In such cases the tongue, palate, and often the nares and oesophagus are similarly affected. SYMPTOMATOLOGY. There is acute pain and distress in the throat, with quickened pulse and more or less fever. Us...ually the larynx is in- volved, and swelling and dyspnoea are speedy results. Cohen states that when smoke has been inhaled, the sputum is blackish in color for several days (" Diseases of the Throat "). Dysphagia is always present. If seen early, the affected parts are of a whitish color due to burning of the mucous membrane, and shortly afterward patches of the mem- brane are found to be destroyed, and severe inflammation with marked swelling ensues. DIAGNOSIS. The diagnosis may be easily made from the history, symptoms, and appearance of the parts.
