Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold with nasal congestion and runny nose. I gave her Cefixime, and she felt noticeably better after three days. That night, I didn't pay attention and let her drink cool boiled water, which made her condition worse on the third day. She started coughing, and her nose seemed blocked at night, making it feel like she was having difficulty breathing. I then added An'ering to her medication, but after taking it for a day, it didn't seem to work, and she had a fever at night.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of laryngitis depends on the severity of the condition and requires careful attention. If the symptoms are severe, with high fever, coughing, barking-like sounds, and difficulty breathing, accompanied by visible depressions in the supraclavicular fossa, suprasternal fossa, and subxiphoid fossa, it may indicate second-degree respiratory failure, and hospitalization is necessary. If the symptoms are mild and there is no difficulty breathing, treatment can be done at home, but it must be closely monitored. If breathing difficulties and hypoxia are detected, the patient should be promptly taken to the hospital for treatment.
