A young man presented with a swollen uvula (which he called a "swollen dingle dangle") after smoking marijuana for the first time the night before. Uvular edema, also known as Quinke's edema, can be caused by conditions like hereditary angioedema, allergic reactions, infections, medications/drugs like NSAIDs and ACE inhibitors, trauma, and smoking. While cannabis is a listed cause, it is likely due to thermal injury from the high burning temperature rather than genuine allergy in this case. Treatment would depend on the suspected cause but may include antibiotics for infection or anaphylaxis medication for allergic reaction.

allergic reactions
allergic reaction : it is a the body\'s method for reacting to an \"intruder.\" When the body detects
an outside substance, called an antigen, the insusceptible framework is activated. The immune
framework typically shields the body from destructive operators, for example, microscopic
organisms and poisons. Its overcompensation to a safe substance (an allergen) is known as a
touchiness response, or a hypersensitive reaction.
Responses may happen in one spot, for example, a little restricted skin rash, bothersome eyes,
confront knocks, or all over, as in an entire body rash, for example, hives.
Most hypersensitive responses are minor, for example, a rash from toxic substance ivy, mosquito
or other bug chomps, or sniffling from feed fever.The kind of response relies on upon the
individual\'s insusceptible framework reaction, which is some of the time eccentric. In
uncommon cases, a hypersensitive response can be life-undermining (known as
hypersensitivity).
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) gauges that no less than one in 50
Americans (1.6%), and upwards of one in 20 (5.1%), have had hypersensitivity happen, bringing
about a normal of 186-225 passings for each year. The AAFA states that hypersensitivities
influence 50 million Americans, are the fifth driving unending malady in the U.S., and the third
driving interminable ailment among kids under 18 years old. More than 40 million individuals
have indoor/open air sensitivities as their essential hypersensitivity. In 2012, more than 11
million individuals in the U.S. gone to their specialist for unfavorably susceptible rhinitis, and
hypersensitivities to nourishment represent 200,000 visits to the crisis room and 10,000
hospitalizations every year.
Practically anything can trigger an allergic reaction.The body\'s safe framework includes the
white platelets, which deliver antibodies. At the point when the body is presented to an antigen
(an outside body, for example, dust that can trigger an invulnerable reaction), a perplexing
arrangement of responses starts.
The white platelets deliver a neutralizer particular to that antigen. This is called
\"\"sensitization.\" The employment of the antibodies is to white platelets recognize and crush
substances that cause malady and disorder. In unfavorably susceptible responses, the counter
acting agent has a place with the class of immunoglobulins known as immunoglobulin E or IgE.
This neutralizer sort advances creation and arrival of chemicals and hormones called
\"mediators.\"
Mediators have impacts on neighborhood tissue and organs notwithstanding initiating more

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes airways to become inflamed and narrowed, making breathing difficult. It is caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Mrs. L has had asthma since age 15 that runs in her family. Her asthma is triggered by things like chickens, seafood, stress, and respiratory infections. She manages her asthma with medications like salbutamol and prednisone as needed for attacks.
Allergic reaction to antibiotics
If you are allergic to antibiotics, you get signs and symptoms like a rash, swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

An allergy is a condition in which the body’s immune system reacts to a substance that is typically harmless. When the body comes into contact with the allergen, it releases histamine, a chemical that leads to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and swelling. allergies can be caused by a variety of things, including pollen, pet dander, dust, and certain foods. Some people have such severe allergies that they can go into anaphylactic shock, which can be life-threatening.

Dear User, you have not mentioned the words limit in your question. so, a brief description of
Allergies is provided below in my own words.
Answer) Allergies are referred to several reactions or response as an outcome of hypersensitive
reaction of our body’s immune system, when exposed to several allergic substances. these
allergic substances are called as allergen. there are number of common allergens such as Dust
mites, Pollens, Insect stings, Pet dander, Mold spores, Food, household chemicals and
Medicines. these substances are not always allergic as the other people are not allergic to them,
but some people are allergic to them. our immune system makes antibodies against the foreign
particles entering our body. in case, when our immune system is weak (particularly in children) it
is possible that encounter of such allergic substances during weak immunity may result in
hypersensitive reaction. this first-time hypersensitive response is called as acute response when
our immune system starts making antibodies against those substances. further multiple exposures
to same allergens result in a higher response and the person becomes allergic to those substances.
symptoms of allergies are sneezing, wheezing and coughing, a running nose or blocked nose, a
red itchy rash, red itchy watery eyes. these symptoms can be observed within minutes of
exposure to allergens. generally, these responses are mild but a prolonged hypersensitive reaction
may result in anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock which is a medical emergency.
As per studies, one out of five American is affected with some sort of allergies. and the allergies
are more commonly observed in the developed countries. there are different diagnostic tests to
identify whether a person has an allergic response to possible allergens or not. these tests include
patch testing, skin prick testing, blood testing etc. in these tests, a much smaller dose of allergen
is provided to the person to observe the immune response. once a person is identified allergic to
certain substance, it is consulted to avoid the exposure to those substances. while, in case of
sudden exposure they are provided with the medications such as antihistamines, epinephrine and
glucocorticoids etc. under certain limitations, immunotherapy is also provided as treatment
against and asthma and allergies to insect bites..

Urticaria&angioedema(copiedsenior)
1. Urticaria and angioedema can be caused by allergic triggers like foods, drugs, infections, insect bites, or physical factors. Chronic urticaria lasts longer than 6 weeks.
2. Chronic urticaria is difficult to determine the cause of and may last for years. Physical urticarias are triggered by environmental stimuli and are often resistant to corticosteroids.
3. Angioedema causes swelling in the deep layers of the skin and tissues. It can be caused by allergic, pseudoallergic, or nonallergic mechanisms. Treatment depends on the mechanism but may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or epinephrine to prevent air
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that remains a major cause of death worldwide, especially among young children and the elderly. It poses a significant public health issue as it is more prevalent in developing countries and among vulnerable populations with limited access to healthcare. Effective prevention of pneumonia requires vaccination programs, education, treatment of underlying risk factors, and access to medical care for early diagnosis and management of the infection.
Drug allergy
An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a drug viewed as foreign. The first exposure allows antibodies to form, so reactions typically occur after repeated exposure, not the first. Common triggers are painkillers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and antiseizure drugs. Symptoms range from mild skin reactions to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Penicillin is a frequent cause of drug allergy, with symptoms like hives, swelling, and asthma. Sulfa drugs can also cause allergic reactions like rashes, photosensitivity, and liver/kidney issues. Avoiding the culprit drug is key treatment for drug allergies.
Allergy treatment
Allergies are by definition a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. Allergic reactions will show when a person’s immune system reacts to usually harmless substances in the surroundings. These substance that causes a reaction are called an allergens. Although the reactions can sometimes be only uncomfortable, they can result in dangerous situation for certain person.
anaphylaxis-140426114048-phpapp02 (1).pdf
This document discusses anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It defines anaphylaxis and explains that it is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction caused by the immune system overreacting to normally harmless substances. Symptoms can affect multiple body systems like the skin, respiratory and digestive systems. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria of symptoms occurring within minutes or hours of exposure. Treatment involves epinephrine and other emergency measures, with prevention being avoidance of triggering allergens.

Asthma
Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways that causes wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, with no known cure. Common triggers of asthma attacks include smoke, air pollution, cold air, pollen, animals, dust, molds, strong smells, wood dust, exercise, and industrial chemicals. Prevention focuses on avoiding triggers and irritants, keeping the home clean and moisture levels low, and eliminating tobacco smoke.
Pradip project
This document provides an overview of common diseases and their treatments. It begins with an introduction to different types of diseases such as acquired, chronic, genetic and terminal diseases. It then covers the causes, symptoms and treatment approaches for various common conditions including pain, headaches, fever, cough, dehydration and others. For each condition, it describes diagnostic criteria and recommends over-the-counter or prescription medications to manage symptoms. The document serves as a reference for treating a wide range of prevalent medical issues.
Allergy assignment
The document discusses allergies, defining them as immune responses to normally harmless substances. It describes common allergen types like pollen, dust, foods and identifies symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes. Allergens are classified by their route of exposure - inhaled, injected, ingested, contacted. Diagnosis involves skin prick or patch tests. Treatment includes avoidance, medications like antihistamines, decongestants, steroids and immunotherapy injections.
Is Grief A Disease
Grief is commonly viewed as a natural response to loss, rather than a disease state. However, the author argues that grief fulfills the criteria of a disease - it involves suffering, impairment of functioning, has a consistent etiological factor (loss of an object), and follows a predictable course. Viewing grief as a disease would open up important implications for medical research and practice, such as studying grief using scientific tools and examining its potential role in other illness. This perspective recognizes significant life stressors and central nervous system processes as important to health.
Autoimmune diseases
In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages healthy cells in the body rather than foreign pathogens. There are over 80 different autoimmune diseases that exist which make diagnosis difficult as symptoms often overlap. Autoimmune diseases are more common in women and often run in families. Blood tests looking for autoantibodies can help doctors make a diagnosis. Treatments include medications that work to suppress the overactive immune response and reduce inflammation in the body.
Facts about allergic_diseases
Allergy and asthma are common conditions affecting approximately 20% of Americans. Allergies occur when the immune system has an adverse reaction to normally harmless substances. Common allergens include pollen, dust, animal dander, foods, and medications. Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Together, allergies and asthma represent a significant public health and economic burden, costing billions of dollars annually in healthcare costs and lost productivity. While there is no cure, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Clinical pharmacy in Immunoallergology Medical diseases
Allergies are caused by an overactive immune system response to harmless substances called allergens. Common allergies include hay fever, asthma, eczema, and food allergies. When a person is exposed to an allergen, mast cells release histamine which causes symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms to the potentially life-threatening condition of anaphylaxis. Treatment involves avoiding allergens and using medications like antihistamines to reduce symptoms.
Drug allergy overview by Dr Mohammad Baghaei
Drug allergy is the term for a group of symptoms caused by an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction occurs when your immune system mistakes the drug for a harmful substance and mounts an inflammatory response that actually harms rather than protects you. Any medication — over-the-counter, prescription or herbal — is capable of inducing a drug allergy. However, a drug allergy is more likely with certain medications
Syncope 1 aortic stenosis
This document discusses a case study of an 80-year-old woman presenting with recurrent syncope and chest tightness on exertion. The three key points are:
1) The ECG shows left ventricular hypertrophy which, along with her history of a murmur, suggests she has aortic stenosis likely caused by a calcified bicuspid aortic valve.
2) Aortic stenosis typically presents with symptoms of chest pain, syncope or dyspnea on exertion, and on examination there is a characteristic murmur.
3) While nitroglycerin was previously avoided for fear of reducing preload, cautious use is now considered acceptable since heart rate changes are more problematic for these patients
Bartons fracture volar
A 75-year-old woman fell and landed on her outstretched right hand, causing swelling and tenderness in her wrist. An x-ray revealed a Barton's fracture of the distal radius, where the fracture line runs horizontally through the joint on an AP view and vertically on a lateral view. The fracture fragment was displaced proximally on the volar surface, indicating joint instability. Most patients with this intra-articular fracture requiring open reduction and internal fixation to regain stability and reduce arthritis risk, even if conservative treatment is considered for an older patient.
Coining therapy
A 54-year-old woman presents with fever, shortness of breath, and chest pain. On examination, linear bruises are seen on her back consistent with a folk remedy called "coining" used to relieve symptoms. While coining may provide partial relief, the presenting symptoms could indicate serious underlying medical conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism that require diagnosis and treatment. The patient's care should involve pursuing these potential diagnoses through further evaluation rather than focusing on the folk remedy.
Cat scratch abcess picture and ultrasound
A 67-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a swollen right hand after being bitten by his cat three days prior. The clinical photo and ultrasound showed spreading cellulitis and abscess formation in the area of maximal redness and swelling. Cat bites carry a high risk of infection from Pasteurella species, particularly involving nearby tendons and joints. The man should be admitted and started on intravenous antibiotics, and his abscess should be opened, cleaned, and debrided in surgery.
Acetabular fracture
A 65-year old man crashed his bike into a group of cyclists and fell to the ground complaining of right hip pain. An x-ray showed he had a comminuted fracture of the right acetabulum with medial displacement of fragments. A CT scan was recommended to further characterize the injury and inform surgical planning. His treatment options included closed reduction, open reduction, or an acute acetabular prosthesis given the displacement.
Hypothermia ecg 2019
A 79-year-old man was brought to the emergency department after being found collapsed at home. He has a history of diabetes, hypertension, a stroke with residual weakness, and depression. His ECG shows slow atrial fibrillation and Osborne waves, consistent with a body temperature of 29.5°C, indicating moderate to severe hypothermia. Hypothermia is often caused by an underlying condition that leaves the patient unable to rewarm themselves, such as trauma, neurological issues, drugs, endocrine problems, or infection. Treatment focuses on rewarming with a forced air blanket and providing glucose to generate heat.

On examination, linear bruises are seen on her back consistent with a folk remedy called "coining" used to relieve symptoms. While coining may provide partial relief, the presenting symptoms could indicate serious underlying medical conditions like pneumonia or pulmonary embolism that require diagnosis and treatment. The patient's care should involve pursuing these potential diagnoses through further evaluation rather than focusing on the folk remedy.
Cat scratch abcess picture and ultrasound
A 67-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a swollen right hand after being bitten by his cat three days prior. The clinical photo and ultrasound showed spreading cellulitis and abscess formation in the area of maximal redness and swelling. Cat bites carry a high risk of infection from Pasteurella species, particularly involving nearby tendons and joints. The man should be admitted and started on intravenous antibiotics, and his abscess should be opened, cleaned, and debrided in surgery.
Acetabular fracture
A 65-year old man crashed his bike into a group of cyclists and fell to the ground complaining of right hip pain. An x-ray showed he had a comminuted fracture of the right acetabulum with medial displacement of fragments. A CT scan was recommended to further characterize the injury and inform surgical planning. His treatment options included closed reduction, open reduction, or an acute acetabular prosthesis given the displacement.
Hypothermia ecg 2019
A 79-year-old man was brought to the emergency department after being found collapsed at home. He has a history of diabetes, hypertension, a stroke with residual weakness, and depression. His ECG shows slow atrial fibrillation and Osborne waves, consistent with a body temperature of 29.5°C, indicating moderate to severe hypothermia. Hypothermia is often caused by an underlying condition that leaves the patient unable to rewarm themselves, such as trauma, neurological issues, drugs, endocrine problems, or infection. Treatment focuses on rewarming with a forced air blanket and providing glucose to generate heat.
Battle's sign child 2019
The image shows bruising over the mastoid process, indicating a fracture of the base of the skull from the fall. Important symptoms and signs to identify those at higher risk of brain injury include dangerous mechanisms, decreased consciousness, repeated vomiting, and signs of skull fractures. This child needs a low-dose head CT scan after transfer to a pediatric trauma center given the loss of consciousness and signs of a skull fracture. Ongoing management will involve evaluating for risks of significant brain injury or need for neurosurgery.
Ankle dislocation 2019
A 37-year old man injured his right ankle after stepping in a pothole while jogging. His ankle appears deformed with the foot displaced laterally and posteriorly. The skin over the lower tibia also appears stretched and pale. This clinical presentation is most consistent with a fracture dislocation at the ankle joint. The priorities are to provide analgesia, reduce the injury in the emergency department to preserve skin integrity, and obtain an x-ray for orthopedic guidance before definitive repair. Initial analgesia could include nitrous oxide and narcotics, with additional sedation like propofol or ketamine if needed despite his fasting status.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy 2019
A 68-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with chest pain and shortness of breath. Tests showed elevated troponin and ECG changes suggestive of a heart attack. A ventriculogram revealed ballooning of the left ventricular apex, consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo is a stress-induced heart condition where the heart enlarges at the apex. It is thought to be caused by high catecholamine levels due to life stress. While initial symptoms mimic a heart attack, prognosis is generally good with typical recovery and low mortality around 1-3%.
Posterior shoulder dislocation 2019
The x-ray shows a posterior dislocation of the footballer's right shoulder. Key signs on the x-ray include a symmetrical "light bulb" shaped humeral head and widening of the gleno-humeral joint space. There is also likely a fracture fragment at the inferior rim of the glenoid. The injury should be managed by reducing the dislocation under procedural sedation using traction, abduction, and external rotation, known as the Milch method.
Hyperacute ami ecg 2019
The ECG shows changes suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia, including tall, peaked T waves in leads V2-V4 and possible ST elevation in leads V1 and III. The most important interventions are to give aspirin, heparin, and regular ECGs looking for ST elevation. The man likely needs urgent coronary angiography if ST elevation appears, or angiography soon otherwise, to treat his acute coronary syndrome.
Jefferson fracture xr and ct 2019
A 32-year-old man presented with severe neck pain after being dumped in heavy surf. An x-ray showed a burst fracture of the atlas (C1 vertebra), known as a Jefferson fracture, with fracture lines running vertically through the anterior and posterior arches. Jefferson fractures are caused by an axial load from above, such as falling on the head from height. Although many patients have no neurological deficits, this patient will require immobilization through prolonged use of a cervical collar as treatment, as confirmed by a subsequent CT scan.
Renal trauma ct 2019
A 27-year-old construction worker fell 3 meters and is complaining of abdominal and back pain. A urine test showed blood and his vitals suggest compensated shock. A CT scan revealed a grade 5 injury to the left kidney with shattered architecture, hematoma, and contrast extravasation, indicating active bleeding. The patient has a high chance of requiring a nephrectomy and needs urgent surgical referral. He requires controlled hypotensive resuscitation with sufficient fluids to maintain perfusion but not return to normal blood pressure, as over-resuscitation could worsen bleeding.
Raccoon eyes 2019
A 38-year-old man presents to the emergency department with a headache and nausea after being involved in a bar room brawl while intoxicated the previous night. On examination, he has bilateral bruising around his eyes known as "raccoon eyes" or "panda eyes", which is strongly suggestive of a base of skull fracture given his history of trauma. He will need a head CT scan to further characterize any skull fracture and assess for other significant injuries such as intracranial hemorrhage. He may require neurosurgical consultation and hospitalization for symptom management and monitoring.
Laryngeal injury 2019
A 13-year-old boy was injured after crashing a quad bike into a rope stretched across the track. While he was able to get up and walk away with only a sore neck, the doctor is concerned about potential injuries to his airway, cervical spine, or arteries in his neck. A CT scan and CT angiography are recommended to check for injuries to his larynx or fractures as well as tears or dissections of his carotid or vertebral arteries since his mechanism of injury carries risks of damage to these structures.
Dengue fever 2019
A 22-year old man recently returned from Timor with a fever, headache, body aches and pains, and now a rash. Given his symptoms and travel history, the most likely diagnosis is dengue fever. Blood tests should be performed to check for malaria, as well as a full blood count, electrolytes, liver and kidney function. A diagnosis of dengue can be confirmed by detecting antibodies in follow-up blood samples. With rest and over-the-counter pain medication, most dengue cases can be managed without hospitalization.
Dengue fever 2019
A 22-year old man recently returned from Timor with a fever, headache, body aches and pains, and now a rash. Given his symptoms and travel history, the most likely diagnosis is dengue fever. Blood tests should be performed to check for malaria, as well as a full blood exam, electrolytes, liver and kidney function. While dengue can often be managed as an outpatient, this patient should stay for observation and treatment of symptoms like fever and pain with paracetamol and fluids.
Bifasicular block ecg 2019
A 77-year-old woman presented to the emergency department after losing consciousness at church for about 30 seconds. Her ECG showed signs of a bifascicular block indicating issues with the right and left bundles of the heart's conduction system. Due to her unprovoked loss of consciousness and abnormal ECG, she is at risk of having another episode of complete heart block and should be admitted for monitoring. She may ultimately require a permanent pacemaker given the conduction abnormalities shown on her ECG in the absence of a reversible cause.
Benign bone cyst 7yo xray 2019
A 7-year-old boy complained of thigh pain after jumping from play equipment. An x-ray showed a lucency in his proximal right femur that appears to be a benign bone cyst. As he presented after injury, further investigation with MRI is recommended to check for possible micro-fractures. Treatment options include observation with activity limitation or potential surgery, as cysts sometimes resolve on their own but fracture could require healing.
Pupura fulminans 2019
A 6 month old child presented with fever, poor feeding, and drowsiness. Upon removing the child's sock, their foot appeared severely damaged, which is indicative of severe meningococcal sepsis or purpura fulminans. Treatment in the emergency department should include prompt intravenous access, urgent antibiotics like ceftriaxone, fluid boluses, and expedited transfer to the pediatric ICU. While survival is possible with intensive care, long-term complications such as renal failure and loss of limbs are common with this high-risk condition.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Uvular edema
- 1. A young man arrives complaining that he can’t swallow normally, and feels that he has a ‘swollen dingle dangle’ in his throat. You examine him, and indeed find that he DOES have a swollen dingle dangle…although you call it his uvula. He doesn’t have any past medical history, has never had this happen before, but wonder whether ‘smoking dope’ might be a cause? He had tried marijuana for the first time the night before. • Do you know the eponymous name for this sign? • What causes do you know? Is it possible it was Marijuana related? • What are his treatment options ?
- 3. It is called Uvular edema, or eponymously named Quinkes edema. There are many causes…but one of the most cited is Hereditary angioedema related to C1 esterase deficiency, in which case it is often recurrent and can run in the family. It can be a manifestation of Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction, although in that case there are often other manifestations of allergy like skin rash, facial swelling, wheeze etc. Other listed causes include idiopathic (commonest cause), trauma (eg, post intubation), infections (group B streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae type B,), medications and drugs (NSAIDS, ACE inhibitors, ipratropium bromide), and snoring (I’ve seen in in sometime after a big night out!). Cannabis IS listed as a cause, and it may be in some cases that there is a genuine allergy to the agent…but it is probably more often due to thermal injury. Cannabis burns at a much higher temperature than tobacco, which is why it is often inhaled through a cooling bath (bong/hubbly bubbly pipe etc). On this occasion management was expectant, but treatment would obviously depend a bit on what you thought the cause was….and might include the standard anaphylaxis agents if you thought it was due to Type 1 allergy, or antibiotics if you thought it was an infection.
