What to do about pain in the cricoid cartilage

Cricoid cartilage pain, in clinical practice, is mainly seen in laryngeal chondromalacia, which is an aseptic inflammation of the laryngeal cartilage and is often associated with cold, flu and poor rest before the onset of the disease. The disease is usually self-limiting and can recover on its own in about ten days after CT examination of the larynx and electronic laryngoscopy without obvious organic changes. If the pain is more obvious, acetaminophen tablets or ibuprofen extended-release capsules can be taken orally, and the general course of treatment is three days. At the same time, you need to actively avoid triggers and pay attention to rest.
