Is medication effective for children’s pharyngitis? What is the best way to deal with it?

Children's respiratory diseases have a particularly high incidence rate and have a very serious impact on children's growth and development. Therefore, children with respiratory diseases should be treated immediately. For example, pharyngitis is a common disease in children during their growth period. It causes great damage to children's immunity and is difficult to treat. Let's take a look at whether taking medicine is effective for children with pharyngitis. What is the best way to deal with it?

Laryngitis is very common in children. For acute laryngitis, nebulized inhalation of budesonide and other hormone drugs can effectively relieve the symptoms of laryngeal obstruction, and symptomatic supportive treatment such as traditional Chinese medicine can be used. For those with bacterial or mycoplasma infection, it is recommended to add broad-spectrum antibiotics such as cephalosporins, azithromycin and other drugs for anti-infection treatment. For chronic laryngitis, pay attention to vocal rest, eat a light diet, and avoid excessive strain on the vocal cords.

First of all, generally speaking, acute laryngitis in children has an sudden onset. The specific symptoms are: the baby has fever, cough, etc. In the early stage, it is mainly spasm of the laryngeal tube, which blocks breathing, and the cough sounds like a puppy barking. As the disease progresses, the inflammation of the infection will cause a "hollow" cough volume in the subglottic area, which will worsen at night.

Secondly, the methods for treating acute laryngitis in children are: we generally use steroid hormones to relieve the symptoms of laryngeal obstruction, such as oral prednisone, at 1~2 mg/d per kilogram. Alternatively, treatment can be achieved by intramuscular or intravenous injection of 0.2 mg/d of hydrocortisone per kilogram of body weight. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether the patient's electrolyte balance is maintained, and glucose solution can be injected if necessary.

Finally, the prevention of acute laryngitis in children includes: developing good living habits, getting up early and going to bed early, and avoiding being blown by the wind when sleeping at night. When going out in cold weather, wear more clothes to keep warm. During the peak season for colds, try not to go out to avoid infection. When the weather is good, go out more and bask in the sun.
