Patient's question:
The hospital diagnosed bronchitis, but it hasn't healed yet. Whenever I have a fever, it happens like this. Hello, how can it be cured? Thank you very much!!! What kind of assistance is needed: What medication should be used?Doctor's answer:
The presence of a rattling sound in the throat is caused by congenital laryngeal cartilage softening and a narrowed larynx, a condition known as congenital laryngeal cartilage softening disease in medicine. Most children show no symptoms immediately after birth, but symptoms become apparent after a fever or other illnesses. The main manifestations include a concave sternum during inhalation and a stridor sound, which can be intermittent or continuous. In severe cases, symptoms are more pronounced during sleep or crying, but the crying sound remains normal and the voice is not hoarse. As children grow older, the laryngeal softening stabilizes, the laryngeal space narrows, and symptoms gradually improve and disappear. Treatment is generally not required. Careful nursing care, exposure to sunlight, timely digestion of calcium and vitamin D, and prevention of respiratory tract infections and laryngeal inflammation are recommended. Wishing you health and peace!
