How to remove symptoms
When symptoms of the disease appear, a logical question arises - how to treat a cough with laryngitis. The first thing to do is to moisturize the mucous membrane. To do this, you need to carry out the following manipulations:
- Inhalations. They help relieve inflammation, increase the lumen of the larynx. It is effective to carry out steam inhalations (but only if the disease is viral) with sea salt: they liquefy and remove phlegm, have bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects
- For unproductive cough, it is recommended to carry out treatment with antitussive drugs. It is important to choose non-narcotic drugs (without codeine and morphine), as they do not cause addiction and complications, and are allowed for therapy in childhood
- The disease can provoke pain in the larynx, therefore, it is recommended to gargle with antiseptic solutions or warm water with salt and soda as often as possible. A child can properly gargle from the age of four
- Special spireas and aerosols will help relieve the condition during inflammation and eliminate dryness of the mucous membrane
- Lozenges will help stop attacks and reduce inflammation of the larynx
IMPORTANT: Any actions related to the treatment or relief of cough symptoms during laryngitis should be carried out under the professional guidance of a doctor.
In addition to drug therapy, it is important to consider a few more points:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Talk quietly, without straining your vocal cords
- Protect your throat from the cold
- Quit smoking
- Regularly humidify the air in the room
- Ventilate the room 2 times a day
If on the fifth day the cough becomes wet, this is an indicator of correct treatment. Now it is important to choose effective drugs that can quickly remove accumulated phlegm from the lungs.
Treatment of laryngitis cough will be useless if the cause of the inflammatory process in the larynx is incorrectly determined and not eliminated. At the first signs of the disease, it is important to contact a therapist. Timely treatment will reduce the risk of complications!
