👉 Typhlomegaly is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the lining of the throat, causing pain and discomfort. This can lead to inflammation, swelling, and sometimes even death if left untreated. It is caused by an infection called parainfluenza virus (PIV) or parvovirus B19. Symptoms may include a sore throat, cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically includes antibiotics to fight the infection.
