Other diseases of upper respiratory tract (J30-J39)

ICD-10 codes J30-J39 classify a variety of other diseases affecting the upper respiratory tract, including rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, chronic conditions of tonsils and adenoids, laryngeal disorders, and pharyngeal abscesses. These codes help specify different types of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, chronic sinus and nasal conditions, and vocal cord diseases.

This code range includes J30 for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis, covering conditions such as "non-infective non-allergic rhinitis" and various allergies like seasonal allergic rhinitis caused by pollen or animal dander. Codes J31 and J32 represent chronic inflammation of the rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis, and sinusitis subtypes, including maxillary and frontal sinusitis. The range also classifies nasal polyps under J33, chronic diseases of tonsils and adenoids with J35, and conditions like peritonsillar abscess (J36). Vocal cord and laryngeal diseases, such as paralysis, nodules, and spasms, are covered by J38. Additionally, J39 addresses other diseases like retropharyngeal abscess and upper airway hypersensitivity. These codes are essential for capturing detailed upper respiratory tract disorders and their specific causes, facilitating precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
