This condition is generally treatable. In children, thickened breath sounds are primarily accompanied by symptoms such as hoarseness and impaired breathing. Early administration of corticosteroids can rapidly reduce laryngeal edema and improve respiration. The route of administration for prednisolone acetate tablets depends on disease severity: mild cases may be managed with oral administration, whereas severe laryngitis requires prompt intravenous injection. Patients are advised to rest adequately during treatment.
