Viral respiratory tract infections causes swelling in the larynx, trachea and bronchi resulting in narrowing of the airway causing difficulty in breathing.It is a life threatening condition if not treated properly or adequately. The mainstay of treatment is steroids, humidification with nebulizer, proper hydration and maintenance of proper airway (ventilator). With proper treatment the swelling of the airways clears by about 3 days and there is complete recovery. This is the standard protocol of treatment followed all over the world. Wish your son a speedy recovery.
