Children sleeping with croup can be seen in respiratory tract infections, bronchial asthma, airway foreign body conditions, according to different reasons for intervention.
1. Respiratory tract infections: such as bronchopneumonia, often caused by viral or bacterial infections, clinical fever, cough symptoms, some children may have wheezing during sleep, treatment of suspected bacterial infections require the use of antimicrobial drugs (eg, cefaclor) anti-infective, if necessary, need to be injected into the antimicrobial drugs (eg, cefotaxime).
Meanwhile, bronchodilators (e.g. terbutaline) and inhaled glucocorticosteroids (e.g. budesonide) should be given for nebulization treatment.
2. Bronchial asthma: These children often have wheezing episodes, which may present with the above symptoms, and in severe cases may present with dyspnea, etc. They need to be actively treated with bronchodilators (e.g. terbutaline) and inhaled glucocorticosteroids (e.g. budesonide) through nebulization.
If necessary, glucocorticoids (e.g., methylprednisolone sodium succinate) should be given for anti-infection treatment.
3. Airway foreign body: these babies often have a history of foreign body choking and coughing, and may present with the above symptoms, some with recurrent respiratory tract infections, requiring bronchoscopic foreign body removal.
The child sleeps with croup suggests actively seek medical attention to clarify the cause of the disease, and targeted treatment.
