What are the symptoms of acute throat obstruction?

Acute laryngeal obstruction, also known as acute laryngospasm or laryngitis syndrome, is a type of acute pharyngitis. Its main symptoms include hoarseness, choking cough, and difficulty breathing.

1. Hoarseness

Hoarseness occurs when the vocal cords are affected by the disease, resulting in varying degrees of voice changes. Under medical guidance, medications such as pharyngitis gel solution or cefixime dispersible tablets may be used for treatment.

2. Choking Cough

A choking cough results from irritation of the respiratory tract caused by inhaled food or liquid, leading to severe coughing during swallowing. Treatment typically involves following a doctor's advice to use medications such as clindamycin phosphate tablets or ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets. If the cough is severe, relief may be achieved with medications like dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets or pentoxyverine citrate tablets, as directed by a physician.

3. Difficulty Breathing

Dyspnea refers to the subjective sensation of inadequate air supply and labored breathing, which objectively manifests as strained respiratory effort. Medications such as salbutamol tablets, dyphylline tablets, or loratadine tablets may be used according to medical instructions.

In addition, traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Manyanshuning tablets or Liu Shen Pills may be initially considered. During treatment, avoid spicy foods and increase fluid intake and rest.
