What causes acute epiglottitis?

Acute epiglottitis may be caused by mosquito bites, improper diet, environmental factors, trauma, pathogen infection, etc. Patients need to adopt corresponding treatment methods based on different causes.

1. Mosquito bites:

The human body's reaction to certain allergens may lead to acute epiglottitis. Penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for intravenous infusion to quickly relieve the inflammatory condition.

2. Improper diet:

Frequent intake of spicy, stimulating, cold, and hard foods or alternating hot and cold foods can also promote the onset of acute epiglottitis. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy, cold, and cold foods.

3. Environmental factors:

Staying in places with severe air pollution or irritant gases for a long time also has a higher chance of causing acute epiglottitis. Try to stay in places with fresh air and avoid exposure to irritant gases.

4. Trauma:

In some special surgeries, improper operation can lead to iatrogenic instrument damage, resulting in inflammatory lesions of the epiglottic mucosa. You can follow the doctor's advice and take medications such as Cefixime Dispersible Tablets and Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Tablets.

5. Pathogen infection:

It is mainly caused by local infection, among which Haemophilus influenzae type B is a common pathogen. If acute epiglottitis occurs, you need to take Aciclovir Tablets and Ribavirin Tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, pay attention to getting enough rest, avoiding overexertion, avoiding speaking loudly, and developing good voice habits, which are conducive to recovery. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are also necessary.
