   How do you know if a patient has quinsy?

   • Stridor may be a late sign and patients can decompensate rapidly. Beware of severe sore throat with severe dysphagia - without any signs of tonsillitis/pharyngitis in the oropharynx. You should rule out epiglottitis first. Rarely, patients with quinsy can present with profound sepsis. Why is this important?

   What is quinsy & how is it treated?
