Artwork of ear, nose & throat in a cold sufferer
Common cold. Artwork of a sagittal section through the human ear, nose and throat to show features of the common cold. The common cold is a viral infection causing fluid discharge (yellow) from inflamed mucous membranes. Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose (rhinitis) and the sinuses to the right of the nose (sinusitis) cause runny nose and stuffiness, respectively. Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils (behind the tongue, centre right). Inflammation of the throat below the tonsils (pharyngitis) causes soreness. Middle ear inflammation (otitis media) is shown in the passage at upper right to the right of the cochlea (purple, coiled)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a detailed sagittal section of the human ear, nose, and throat affected by the common cold. The intricate illustration highlights various features of this viral infection that plagues many individuals. Inflamed mucous membranes are depicted with a vibrant yellow fluid discharge, representing the hallmark symptom of the common cold. The image portrays how rhinitis and sinusitis cause a runny nose and stuffiness respectively, as inflammation affects both the nasal passages and sinuses on either side. Tonsillitis is also illustrated in this piece, showcasing inflammation behind the tongue towards the center-right area. Furthermore, pharyngitis - inflammation below the tonsils - is shown to be responsible for soreness in one's throat. The passage at upper right indicates middle ear inflammation known as otitis media, which can be observed adjacent to the cochlea represented by its distinct purple coiled shape. Through this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, viewers gain insight into these interconnected conditions associated with the common cold. It serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and individuals seeking knowledge about this prevalent ailment affecting our respiratory system.
