Laryngitis at small children often proceeds very hard, is fraught with heavy complications in the form of developing of a stenosis of a throat and attacks of suffocation. Treatment of laryngitis at children at this age is directed to prevention of attacks, removal of a laryngeal edema.
Instruction
1. Try to weaken suffocation symptoms before arrival of ambulance – the child needs to be held vertically, it is possible to put on knees to the adult, to exempt a thorax from clothes. Suggest the child to drink warm water or milk (it is possible to add a soda pinch to milk). Create indoors the sufficient level of humidity – hang out wet sheets, place on the apartment basins with water, breathe the ferry in the bathroom where hot water is included. During an attack while you wait for arrival of doctors, periodically you come into the bathroom filled with steam – damp air removes stress from a throat and causes otkhozhdeny phlegms, it becomes easier for child to breathe.
2. Calm the child that he did not panic, distract him favourite toys, walk on the apartment. It is impossible to allow long shout and concern as at the same time the throat gleam is at once narrowed that aggravates a condition of the child. You carry the child on hands so that his body was in vertical position.
3. If laryngospasms repeat repeatedly, then hospitalization is shown – in the conditions of a hospital the child will be under constant supervision of doctors, and attacks will be medicamentally removed.
4. Mom always has to be near the kid to control his state and to trace the beginning of a laryngospasm, especially at night.
5. High temperature should be forced down febrifugal medicines in an age dosage, plentiful drink. Do not muffle up the kid, dress him easily, the clothes should not squeeze a body. If the kid is on natural feeding, then it is necessary to offer it a breast as often as possible.
6. Do inhalations. You can breathe together with the child over the container with hot water – take him on hands, be covered with a big towel and breathe the ferry.
7. The child has to take the antihistaminic drugs which reduce hypostasis of a mucous membrane of a throat. Spasmolysants ("No-Spa", "Papaverine") weaken tension of muscles. The medicines facilitating otkhozhdeny phlegms do cough damp and promote release of airways from slime.
8. At the heavy course of laryngitis the intake of antibacterial medicines which will be appointed by the doctor is shown.
