Laryngitis (laryngitis)
reason
Non-inflammatory elements and or infection-causing factors cause inflammation in the larynx. Allergy is also a cause of laryngitis.
Laryngitis is also very common from speaking too much.
Beedi cigarette or bad cooking oil etc. are also physical elements.
Once any physical element affects, then bacteria and viruses can also grow.
However, bacterial or virus infection can also happen on its own.
Sometimes the infection affects only the larynx and sometimes on the lower respiratory track.
Common cold and sore throat can also cause laryngitis. Measles also causes laryngitis in children.
Symptoms
Croup (ie cough with hard and loud voice) is a characteristic symptom of laryngitis. The voice becomes hoarse. Pain and soreness in the larynx helps to take the place of disease. Fever and body pain occur almost always in this infection.
treatment
Laryngitis caused by the virus is a self-healing disease. It is cured within a week by relaxing the voice, taking steam and hot liquids. Aspirin helps in reducing pain, fever and inflammation. It is often difficult to find out whether inflammation is caused by viruses or bacteria. With a cold, it is reported that the infection may have been caused by a virus. If the cause of infection is bacterial then doxycycline or amoxicillin should be given to the patient. Do not give Doxy to a pregnant, lactating mother and children below 15 years of age.
If the dry cough is too much, give codeine in the form of syrup or tablets. Laryngeal cramps, which make it difficult to take breath, are caused by allergies. It happens in children. If the situation becomes serious, it requires injection of steroid and oxygen for its treatment.
Symptoms of laryngitis in adults may last for a long time (eg two weeks or more) and if there is a change in voice (horseness), it can also be due to cancer. This possibility is much higher among the old people. In such a situation, expert advice is needed immediately.
