Cough, dysphonia and sore throat are the most frequent symptoms of laryngotracheitis in Dénia, a condition that is marking the Omicron variant in the sixth wave of COVID-19. These symptoms can last for two or three days, although it can last up to a week.
According to José Manuel Colio, Head of Otorhinolaryngology at the Department of Health of Dénia -DSD-, "laryngotracheitis is an infection with inflammation of the larynx and trachea, which is usually viral, although in some cases it can also have a bacterial origin."
COVID Sore Throat and Cough Tips
Good hydration, rest, antipyretics and analgesics are, according to Dr. José Manuel Colio, excellent allies to reduce symptoms and speed up recovery. In principle, antibiotics are not indicated, unless there is a superinfection, adds the Head of Otorhinolaryngology of the DSD.
In addition, it is recommended to rest with the head and torso moderately incorporated, to breathe slowly and calmly and not to get nervous from coughing.
Experts insist on the importance of respecting quarantines, depending on whether or not the patient is vaccinated and the number of doses, always complying with established protocols, as well as safety, hygiene and social distance regulations.
