Laryngitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease. In terms of treatment, most patients do not require infusion therapy; only a small number of patients might need to consider infusion, primarily based on the specific severity of the condition, clinical symptoms, and overall health condition. If the severity of the laryngitis is mild and the clinical symptoms are not significant, some patients may recover on their own, while others may need to combine oral medication and nebulization treatment. However, if the severity of the laryngitis is particularly severe, accompanied by symptoms such as hoarseness, breathing difficulties, and swallowing obstruction, there may be a need to consider infusion therapy.

What should I do if I have laryngitis and a fever?

If there is a case of laryngitis accompanied by fever, it is relatively common, mainly due to acute bacterial infection. It is advisable to consider routine blood tests and laryngoscope examination, primarily to assess the extent of the specific infection and inflammation. In terms of treatment, it generally focuses on antibiotic therapy to combat the infection. Most patients are treated with oral medications. If the inflammatory response is particularly severe, intravenous infusion therapy may be considered. If the fever exceeds 38.5℃, it may be necessary to use antipyretic drugs for treatment. If the temperature is below 38.5℃, physical cooling methods are generally used, along with regular follow-ups to observe the effects. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

Typically, oral medication is the primary treatment, which can be supplemented with nebulization therapy. However, regular follow-ups are necessary during treatment to monitor the effectiveness. In cases where the inflammatory response is particularly severe and the clinical symptoms are more pronounced, such as hoarseness and difficulty breathing, some patients may need to consider intravenous therapy.

Can I eat watermelon with laryngitis?

Laryngitis can be treated by eating watermelon, which is completely fine. Laryngitis refers to an acute inflammatory infection of the throat, often caused by the invasion of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus hemolyticus, and it commonly occurs in infants and young children. Due to the loose mucous membranes in the throats of infants and young children, once an inflammatory infection occurs, it can easily cause the patient to have fever, voice changes, hoarseness, a bark-like cough, and the patient may also experience breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it may lead to suffocation or even death. In terms of treatment, patients with laryngitis must receive symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment, and can take oral or intravenous antibiotics, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, which are effective. Patients also need to use corticosteroids to reduce acute congestion and swelling in the throat, adhere to a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more vegetables and fruit to gradually improve. (Please use medication under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

What should I do if I have laryngitis?

Laryngitis is a common and frequent disease in otolaryngology, with patients ranging from children to adults, each showing different symptoms. In children, due to the narrow glottis and loose submucosal tissue, inflammation can cause significant swelling, potentially leading to breathing difficulties or even asphyxiation. Some children may experience a hoarse voice and a hollow-sounding cough. In adults, laryngitis primarily presents as hoarseness and difficulty speaking, with breathing difficulties being extremely rare. Treatment for laryngitis generally involves anti-inflammatory medications, steroids, and nebulized inhalation to address the symptoms, and most patients see a complete alleviation of symptoms after treatment. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

What to eat for laryngitis

Laryngitis is an emergency in otolaryngology, commonly seen in infants and toddlers. Generally, it is caused by acute inflammation that irritates the pharyngeal mucosa, mainly the vocal cords, leading to congestion and edema of the pharyngeal mucosa. Patients may exhibit sudden high fever, with a body temperature above 38°C, severe sore throat, hoarse voice, bark-like cough, and in severe cases, it may cause breathing difficulties or even lead to suffocation and death. Examination with an electronic laryngoscope can reveal severe edema of the bilateral vocal cords and incomplete closure of the glottis. In treatment, laryngitis initially requires symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment. A routine blood test should be conducted; if there is an increase in white blood cells and neutrophils, a bacterial infection should be considered, and oral administration of cephalosporins or penicillin antibiotics is effective. If lymphocytes are elevated, the patient should receive symptomatic antiviral treatment, which is also effective. Additionally, nebulized inhalation should be used to help reduce local congestion and edema. A bland diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Recovery is typically within about a week. (Please take medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
