Laryngitis: acute and chronic

Common complaints: patients complain of dryness, perspiration, sadness, scratching in the throat, sometimes pain when swallowing. Cough, at first dry, and later accompanied by sputum discharge. The voice becomes hoarse, rude or disappears. Acute laryngitis can occur with a headache, a slight increase in body temperature. The duration of it usually does not exceed 7-10 days. The danger is acute laryngitis of the subglottic( lining) space, accompanied by stenosis of the larynx.

Acute laryngitis: symptoms

Acute laryngitis is rarely isolated, often a manifestation of an acute respiratory illness - influenza, scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. However, it can also occur as an independent disease - when hypothermia, overexertion of voice, inhalation of dusty air( very dry or wet), irritating vapors and gases, smoking, alcohol abuse, with addiction to spicy seasonings.

In acute laryngitis, the mucous membrane of the larynx is hyperemic and edematous, a thickening and incomplete closure of the vocal cords( vocal folds) are noted. When the flu is visible, hemorrhages in the mucous membrane of the larynx( hemorrhagic laryngitis).The inflammatory process can cover the entire mucous membrane of the larynx or some of its areas( isolated laryngitis).

The general condition of the patient with laryngitis usually worsens, the temperature rises, the voice becomes hoarse, worried about coughing. Sometimes there comes a complete aphonia( lack of voice).One of the symptoms of acute laryngitis is complicated swallowing , caused by swelling of the tissues.

Acute subglottic laryngitis is called of the false croup .Often it leads to a sharp narrowing of the airways due to edema and here the prognosis becomes serious, as the patient can suffocate, especially if it is a small child! In this case, urgent consultation of an ENT doctor is necessary to resolve the issue of further treatment.

Chronic laryngitis: symptoms of

Happens subatrophic and atrophic. Usually it is combined with atrophic or hypertrophic pharyngitis or rhinitis. With chronic laryngitis, the symptoms are basically the same, but all the symptoms are more or less erased and weakly expressed.

It occurs under the influence of the same factors as acute, but acting continuously and for a long time. As a result, the nutrition of tissues is disrupted and the dystrophic process develops. Depending on the nature of the arising disorders, three main forms of chronic laryngitis are distinguished: catarrhal, hypertrophic and atrophic.

Chronic catarrhal laryngitis is accompanied by chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx, more often diffuse( common).The mucous membrane of the larynx is hyperemic;sometimes there is an incomplete closure of the glottis during phonation( conversation).

The main complaints are hoarseness, fast voice fatigue, sensation of perspiration, sore throats, and occasional coughing with phlegm.

When exacerbating chronic catarrhal laryngitis, a gentle voice mode is recommended. It is desirable to exclude factors contributing to the disease, elimination of errors in nutrition. It is forbidden to smoke and drink alcohol.

It is useful to have a warm drink( milk, tea, mineral water like "Borjomi").Effective use of physiotherapeutic procedures( UHF, microwave therapy, Novocaine electrophoresis on the larynx, sollyx, ulular irradiation of the anterior surface of the neck).

One of the directions of treatment is the elimination of the causes that caused the disease. For complete rest of the larynx within 5-7 days, the patient is advised not to talk.

A warm drink( milk, mineral water), gargling with chamomile or sage broth, warm alkaline inhalations, inhalation of antibiotic aerosols, warmth around the neck( bandage or warming compress), hot foot baths( 1 tablespoon dry mustard for 5 litershot water).

Steam and ultrasonic inhalations

For inhalations it is advisable to use a conventional steam or ultrasonic inhaler.

However, thermal inhalations can be carried out at home and in their absence.

For the steam inhalation it is possible to adjust a pan in which 4-5 glasses of water are heated with the addition of various drugs that cause a mild anti-inflammatory effect( 5-10 drops of 5-10% tincture of iodine, 1-2 tbsp crushedleaves of eucalyptus, 0.5-1 tsp eucalyptus, menthol or anise oil).

A tapered funnel is folded out of thick paper, with a wide end of which the pan is tightly closed, while the patient breathes through the narrow end of the funnel inserted into the mouth. You can also breathe the steam over the pot with a wide towel or sheet. In all cases, the distance of the patient's mouth to the place where the steam leaves should be 20-30 cm, bearing in mind that the greater the distance, the lower the vapor temperature. These thermal inhalations should be carried out for 5 minutes several times a day for 3-5 days.

Inhalations of phytoncides of garlic or onions are shown( juice of garlic and onion is prepared immediately before inhalation, mixed with 0.25% solution of novocaine or isotonic sodium chloride solution in the proportion: 1 part juice to 3 parts of the solvent).Inhalation is carried out 2 times a day: on the course - 20 inhalations.

The use of drugs in the form of aerosols ensures their high local concentration and uniform distribution of the drug in the bronchial tree. With the help of aerosols, antiseptics can be inhaled: furacillin, rivanol, chlorophyllipt, onion or garlic juice( diluted with a 0.25% solution of novocain in a ratio of 1:30), fir infusion, cowberry leaf condensate, dioxidine.

For the treatment of laryngitis, aerosol preparation bioparox ( locabit) is recommended. It contains the active ingredient fusanfungin - a preparation of fungal origin, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

Fusanfungin is active against predominantly gram-positive cocci( staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci), as well as intracellular parasites( mycoplasma, legionella).In addition, it has antifungal activity.

Bioparox is used in the form of metered-dose inhalations - 4 breaths every 4 hours for 8-10 days. Physiotherapeutic methods are also used: solux on the front surface of the neck, ultraviolet irradiation, Novocain electrophoresis on the larynx, UHF and microwave therapy.

Chronic hypertrophic laryngitis

Characterized by proliferation of the epithelium and submucosal layer. Can be limited and diffuse. With limited form, hyperplasia of individual segments of the mucous membrane of the larynx, more often vocal folds or vestibular folds, lining space is determined. When the diffuse form is observed, hyperplasia of the entire mucosa of the larynx is more pronounced in the region of the vocal cords.

Exacerbation of laryngitis is accompanied by the development of hoarseness of the voice, sometimes reaching aphonia( loss of voice), coughing.

Treatment is the same as for chronic catarrhal laryngitis. In addition, after anesthesia of the larynx of the larynx with lidocaine solution, hyperplastic areas are cauterized with a 3-5% solution of silver nitrate. Areas of severe hyperplasia are surgically removed.

Chronic atrophic laryngitis is manifested by thinning and atrophy of the laryngeal mucosa. As a rule, it is one of the components of the atrophic process in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. The mucous membrane of the larynx is dry, thinned, covered with thick mucus, sometimes turned into crusts, which can go away when coughing.

Chronic atrophic laryngitis is manifested by a sensation of dryness, perspiration, sore throat, dry cough, hoarseness.

Treatment is mostly symptomatic. Apply alkaline and oily inhalation, lubricate the larynx with Lugol solution in glycerin. To improve the removal of crusts, proteolytic enzymes( chymotrypsin, chymotrypsin, etc.) are prescribed in the form of aerosols.

Prognosis for acute laryngitis is favorable;sometimes a transition to a chronic form is possible. The outcome of chronic laryngitis depends on its shape. With chronic atrophic and hypertrophic laryngitis, there is no complete recovery, but there may be a prolonged remission. Prevention is aimed at eliminating causal factors.
