Glottitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the glottis, which is the tissue at the boundary between the vocal folds. It can cause inflammation and swelling of the tissue, leading to symptoms such as difficulty speaking, hoarseness, and pain in the throat. Glottitis can be caused by various factors, including bacterial or viral infections, trauma to the throat, or allergic reactions. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and rest to the voice.
