Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell, sometimes dizzy during the day, and it affects my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't work well. How can acute laryngitis in children be prevented and treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, cold and dryness are external factors that can trigger baby croup. Therefore, the temperature in the baby's room should be kept around 20 degrees Celsius. Pay attention to maintaining air circulation. After the illness, the baby should be kept quiet and rest, reducing crying. In terms of diet, it should be light, soft, easy to digest, and rich in nutrients, avoiding irritating foods. For chickenpox treatment in Western medicine, the focus is on symptomatic management. If itching is severe, the baby can take Phenergan orally, and apply calamine lotion locally. For broken blisters, 1% gentian violet can be applied. If there is a secondary bacterial skin infection, appropriate topical application of tetracycline ointment or antibiotics can be used.
