咽喉炎以前会导致心脏衰竭。

Tetanus, tuberculosis, strep throat, and other diseases caused by bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics.

破伤风、肺结核、链球菌性咽喉炎和其他由细菌感染引起的疾病都要用抗生素治疗。

I had bout after bout of what I mistakenly thought was called “stripe throat” I lay in bed drinking cold water and imagining my throat in alternating stripes of red and white (this was probably not so far wrong) .

我闹了一场接一场的链球菌咽喉炎，我误以为这毛病叫“条状咽炎”；躺在床上水，想象自己喉咙呈白一道红一道的条状（可能这想法也错不到哪儿去）。

I knew strep throat had a purpose. Good for strep throat.

我就知道咽喉炎是有处的，感谢咽喉炎。

" I know I would have lost the contract if I hadn't lost my voice, because I had the wrong idea about the whole proposition. I discovered, quite by accident, how richly it sometimes pays to let the other person do the talking" .

我明白，如果我当时没有患喉炎、无法言语，我是不可能得到订单的，因为此前我对整存在误解。 我是很偶然地发现，原来，有时候让对方说话真的可以有不错的收效。

Another complication is when the reflux goes all the way back up to the pharynx, and then into the larynx, in which case it can cause laryngitis or even asthma.

另一并发症是当反流至咽部，然后进入喉时，它会引起喉炎，甚至哮喘。

That last species is in the same genus as the bacteria that can cause strep throat, and a lot of other infections.

后一种菌和导致脓毒性咽喉炎和很多其他感染的致病菌属于同一属。

Acute laryngitis usually lasts for less than three weeks, and usually resolves on its own, although antibiotics are helpful for bacterial laryngitis.

急性喉炎通常病程不超过3周，具有自限性，但抗生素对细菌感染性喉炎很有效。

So laryngitis comes down to the three D's: dysphonia, dysphagia, and dyspnea.

我们把喉炎归纳于3D：dysphonia发音困难、dysphagia吞咽困难、dyspnea呼吸困难。

In acute laryngitis, the goblet cells to over secrete mucus leading to congestion of the airway, and immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages release chemicals that cause pain and swelling.

急性喉炎中，杯状细胞分泌过多黏液，导致气道阻塞；免疫细胞如中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞释放化学物质产生疼痛和肿胀感。

Alright, as a quick recap, laryngitis is inflammation of the vocal cords and it causes dysphonia, dysphagia, and dyspnea.

得！快速回顾一下：喉炎是一种声带的炎症，产生发音困难、吞咽困难、呼吸困难的临床表现。

For chronic laryngitis, though, laryngoscopy can be useful.

但对于慢性喉炎，喉镜很有价值。

For chronic laryngitis, it's important to treat the underlying issue, for example, using allergy medication, avoiding irritating agents, and using gastroesophageal reflux medications.

对于慢性喉炎，处理原发病很重要，比如施用抗过敏药物、避开过敏原以及施用抗胃食管反流药物。

Or the bacteria that causes strep throat.

或者引起咽喉炎的细菌。

If you've ever had strep throat, you were probably given a medicine called an antibiotic.

如果你得过链球菌咽喉炎，你可能被给了一种叫做抗生素的药物。

But you guys, I have strep throat.

但是朋友们，我得了链球菌性咽喉炎。

Right, and what happens once you get strep throat?

的，那么一旦你得了链球菌性喉炎会发生什么呢？
