Drug therapy for acute epiglottitis mainly includes glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, etc.) and antibiotic (e.g., penicillin, etc.) drugs, etc., and all medications should be administered under the guidance of a medical professional. Acute epiglottitis is an acute inflammatory lesion in the epiglottic mucosal area, which is prone to severe edema and dyspnea. Glucocorticosteroids can be used to treat and prevent the symptoms of edema in the epiglottis area, and also have non-specific anti-inflammatory, anti-shock and anti-allergic effects, etc. Commonly used drugs include hydrocortisone and dexamethasone, which need to be combined with antibiotics in the early stages of acute epiglottitis. For patients who also have diabetes, glucocorticoids need to be used with caution. Antibiotics: For those with mild symptoms, penicillins can be used intravenously. If the disease is more serious or there is no obvious improvement after the above drug treatment, vancomycin can be used for intravenous drip. According to the severity of the patient’s condition, follow the doctor’s instructions to take different treatment methods.
