Parents, be careful with the air conditioner! The doctor shows the first signs

Pediatrician Bektash Mandri has raised the alarm about the danger posed by laryngeal edema in children, which is often caused by moving from a warm environment to a cold environment with air conditioning.

Invited to the "Dita Jonë" show on A2 CNN, Mandri said that laryngeal edema is a high medical emergency, as it can block the child's breathing and requires immediate treatment.

He pointed out that some symptoms are hoarseness and a harsh cough.

 "The problem is when it goes from hot to cold, in air-conditioned environments. We have had many cases of laryngeal edema. You have to be very careful because it blocks the child's breathing."

The treatment must be very correct. The symptoms are hoarseness, the cough is harsh, which we call like a dog barking, breathing is difficult and feels difficult, the child is tired, agitated, a clinical eye can immediately distinguish it.

"Laryngeal abscesses are an extremely high emergency and require care in treatment. They also cause fever, on the 3rd and 4th day. It is not to be confused with a virus. This type of cough is very dangerous for the child's health ," said the doctor.
