I recently had minor surgery and an endotracheal tube was used. The back of my neck is painfully sore as well as my jaw and throat. I am still having problems chewing food as it hurts my jaw. I had problems talking and eating the first two days following surgery due to an extremely sore throat and damaged vocal cords.
Infection vs Disease. Infection and Disease are two words that are often confused as one and the same. In fact these two medical terms are different in their meanings. Infection is understood in the sense of contamination. Contaminating air or water with harmful organisms is said to cause infection.nfection affects a person with disease. On the other hand disease is the end result of an infection. This is the main difference between infection and disease. In short it can be said that infection leads to disease. A person gets a disease if he or she carries an infection.
An infectious disease is a disease that may be spread within the person such as a virus or a bacterial or a fungal infection. An infectious disease may be contagious and communicable but does not have to be. A communicable disease is a disease many others may get and that is why we have vaccinations.
