Dr. Zhang Ligong
Once infected, patients with superior laryngeal nerve involvement typically experience throat discomfort, hoarseness, dyspnea, and a high risk of aspiration during swallowing, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Patients should take these symptoms seriously and promptly cooperate with their physicians to determine whether the damage is unilateral or bilateral. Targeted treatment should then be initiated; surgery may be necessary in some cases to prevent disease progression and potential airway obstruction.
