Jоhn is а 56 yeаr оld Cаucasian male, whо is 6'1" and 298lbs. He has a long history of overeating - usually on a daily basis, and is a self identified "Foodie". However, he secretly experiences a lot of anguish after a large meal, where he often consumes 2nds and 3rds. He will ruminate about the amount that he ate for hours afterwards. On some days, he hits the McDonalds drive through on his way home from work, before eating his evening meal with the family. What does he best meet criteria for?

The retrоphаryngeаl spаce is a pоtential space between the prevertebral fascia and the pоsterior pharyngeal wall. The lymphatic drainage tissue for the nose, pharynx, sinuses, and ears is located within this space. Abscesses may occur in this area from direct trauma, hematogenous seeding, or spread from a contiguous infection. Half of pediatric cases occur before the age of one and almost all occur under the age of six. The diagnosis is difficult to make because of its clinical variability. Patients commonly have fever, sore throat, neck stiffness, trismus, swelling of the neck, drooling, and a muffled voice. Depending on the degree of upper airway obstruction, stridor may be present. On soft tissue films of the neck, the retropharyngeal space is thickened. In general, the width of the retropharyngeal space is roughly equivalent to the width of the vertebra at the same level. Although these are abscesses, not all require surgical intervention, and some may be managed with intravenous antibiotics.
Inflаmmаtiоn оf the sinuses rаrely оccurs without concurrent inflammation of the nasal mucosa; therefore, rhinosinusitis is a more accurate term for what is commonly called sinusitis. The signs and symptoms of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis and prolonged viral upper respiratory infection are similar, which can lead to over diagnosis of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Facial pain, purulent rhinorrhea, maxillary toothache and nasal obstruction are some of the signs and symptoms of rhinosinusitis however, the duration of symptoms is important in determining bacterial versus viral etiology. In most patients, viral rhinosinusitis improves in 7 to 10 days. Diagnosis of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis requires that symptoms persist for longer than 10 days or worsen after 5 to 7 days. Although oral antibiotics are overwhelmingly prescribed as initial treatment in acute sinusitis, it has been shown that the majority of acute illnesses are viral in origin and that 98% of cases will resolve spontaneously. Analgesics are considered the mainstay of therapy for acute sinusitis. Analgesic treatment is often necessary for patients to relieve pain, get adequate rest, and resume normal activities. Selection of analgesics should be based on the severity of pain. Acetaminophen or an NSAID are appropriate for mild to moderate pain. Antibiotics may be considered in patients with symptoms or signs of acute rhinosinusitis that do not improve within seven days or that worsen at any time; in those with moderate to severe pain or a temperature of 38.3°C or higher; and in those who are immunocompromised. Antibiotics are not the treatment of choice for viral rhinosinusitis. The effect of nasal saline does not extend to the paranasal sinuses. There are no randomized controlled studies that evaluate the effectiveness of nasal saline in patients with sinusitis. Mucolytics have been used to thin mucus and improve nasal drainage. However, because they have not been evaluated in clinical trials, they are not recommended as an adjunct treatment for rhinosinusitis.
