“…Chronic laryngitis, or inflammation of the larynx lasting for greater than 3 weeks, is a complex but increasingly common problem. Bacterial infection remains an underrecognized but clinically significant etiology of chronic laryngitis . Chronic bacterial laryngitis can be diagnosed in the setting of chronic dysphonia with or without dysphagia.…”

“…The wound was then closed primarily using the abundant redundant mucosa which was sutured to the left lateral pharyngeal wall. He had an uneventful postoperative course and, following decannulation, his voice returned to normal, and he was deemed 100% intelligible scoring 0 on the GRBAS scale [ 2 ].…”

Approximately 10% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the minor salivary glands with the palate being the most common site. Pleomorphic adenomas account for the majority of palatal tumours; however, minor salivary gland tumours have a higher risk of malignancy compared to tumours of the major salivary glands, so appropriate diagnostic evaluation should be prompt. We present a case of a 52-year-old man with a longstanding history of a soft palate pleomorphic adenoma which required excision under general anaesthetic via a mandibular swing approach. As well as the surgical approach to access this tumour; this case is unique as it is the largest soft palate pleomorphic adenoma reported in the literature. We discuss the appropriate preoperative investigations and airway considerations for this patient, as well as the factors to consider when planning operative management of palatal tumours.

“…Antibiotics are rarely needed in patients with acute laryngitis. [9] A systematic review showed that patients with acute laryngitis do not require antibiotics unless there is a clear evidence of co-existing bacterial pharyngitis. Improper use of antibiotics in patients with acute laryngitis increases the risk of antimicrobial resistance.…”

An estimated 50% of antibiotic prescriptions may be unjustified in the outpatient setting. Viruses are responsible for most acute respiratory tract infections. The viral infections are often self-limiting and only symptomatic treatment remains effective. Bacteria are involved in a small percentage of infections etiology in this area. In the case of a justified or documented suspicion of a bacterial infection, antibiotic therapy may be indicated. Based on the Polish „Recommendations for the management of non-hospital respiratory infections 2016”, the indications, the rules of choice, the appropriate dosing schedules and the therapy duration, in the most frequent upper respiratory tract infections in adults, have been presented. Implementation of the presented recommendations regarding our Polish epidemiological situation, will significantly reduce the tendency to abuse antibiotics, and thus will limit the spread of drug-resistant microorganisms.
