Laryngitis
When the doctor pronounces the word Laryngitis, the first
thing one must know the patient - this is what the doctor calls not a disease
but a symptom of the disease. Laryngitis - this is just inflammation of the
larynx. And here is an inflammation can cause all sorts of viruses, some
bacteria, fungi and even ... just dust, if its too much.
Why is the name of this symptom sounds so often from the mouths of physicians.
It is very simple - one of the most important symptoms of laryngitis - voice
hoarseness. And in the children's clear voice, with banal ARI hoarseness appears
rarely and not very well heard.
Hoarseness arises from the fact that under the influence of inflammation and,
therefore, edema, change the properties of the vocal cords, which are just in
the larynx. Moreover, because of edema of the connective tissue under the vocal
cords, the voice can not only grow hoarse, but in general the abyss. In this
case you should immediately call an ambulance, as the "disappearance" of voices
spoke about starting a laryngospasm, which was formerly called false croup.
Fortunately, the voice is lost forever. As well as hoarseness, laryngospasm is
as soon as decreasing inflammation, swelling of tissues in the larynx.
In order to proceed more swelling to disappear hoarseness of voice and did not
arise laryngospasm, the doctor often appoints antigistaminovye drugs (suprastin,
zirtek, Fenkarol, etc.), often called an anti-allergic, but it is only a small
part of the spectrum of diseases where these drugs be applied. To reduce
swelling and can be inhaled through - mitigating the flow of air that it is less
traumatic for the swollen walls of the larynx.
Inhalation creates the same effect as the patch in the corn. While on the grazed
corn is not glued to the plaster, it is not only dirty, but still sore, itching,
inflammation in this place in an increasingly strong and growing - stubbornly
shoes rubbing the wound surface. But if you stick the patch, the shoes have not
as tinder, and the wound heals quickly.
The same thing occurs in the larynx - the role of shoe here is a breeze, it is
with each inhalation and exhalation rubs laryngitis, reinforcing laryngitis. But
where do we get the patch to the throat?
Come to the aid inhalation. For example, inhalation of soda make tough shoes air
soft slippers, and inhalation with eucalyptus oil, fir, or behave like a plaster
- it covers the wound surface a thin protective film and gives edema save.
But it is important to remember that the inhalation should be conducted not the
hot steam - then with your toes in the larynx and burn more will be added as a
wet, warm and can even room temperature air.
Therefore, among inhalers for the treatment of laryngitis, steam inhalers occupy
the last place and remain there just in case you do not have another inhaler.
The most convenient in this case, ultrasonic inhalers, as well as nembulayzery.
Young children, which is difficult to get to sit near the inhaler and breathe
through a tube, such inhalers are even suitable. They do not produce steam, and
water at room temperature, turned into a cloud - inhaler breaks water into tiny
droplets, which contains the drug and - butter, soda, or other components which
appoints doctor.
Steam from the steam inhaler, according to the laws of physics, rises from the
same cloud of nembulayzera or ultrasonic inhaler, like the mist on the field,
goes down. And this is the most feature is very convenient for use in very young
infants or fidget with preschoolers. While a child is sleeping, playing board
games, watching television, finally, all that is required from parent to child
received inhalation - is to put the inhaler just above his head to drugs cloud
descended nearly face of the child.
And then the number of inhalations, which can be done in 3-8 times a day will
not be tedious for the child and not bring my mother hassle.
Laryngitis, as any cold, in most cases, a viral disease. A viruses, the body,
usually handles himself. Inhalation and other treatments only ease the struggle
with the virus, as a good office supply helps to better fight. But the soldiers
in the fight against the virus - not oil and soda, and not even antigistaminovye
drugs, and cell immunity.
If the laryngitis is caused by bacteria or fungi, that without special
antimicrobial agents is necessary. Doctor appointed them.
