I was amused to see mentioned in an article the other day "epiglottis (severe throat infection)".

For the past two weeks, I have what feels like something in the back of my throat. I know that it's where my epiglottis is located and feel that it's swollen. But why, I can't imagine. It happens only at night, around 7:30. I drink several clear carbonated seltzers during the day and often in the evening.
