Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 183 Acute epiglottitis!

"Doctor, am I okay?"

Seeing Zhao Sheng's serious expression, the rap boy couldn't help but asked nervously.

"You said you were going to compete tomorrow?"

Zhao Sheng said.

The rap boy's condition is obviously acute epiglottitis.

The epiglottis is an important checkpoint in the throat.

Normally, the epiglottis is open and air can freely enter and exit the airway. However, when eating and swallowing, the epiglottis will cover the trachea like a lid to prevent food from entering the trachea.

But when the epiglottis becomes inflamed, this "lid" will continue to swell. In severe cases, it will swell into a ball shape, causing the airway to close and make it difficult for people to breathe.

Acute epiglottitis is an acute inflammation of the throat that starts suddenly, develops rapidly, and easily causes upper respiratory tract obstruction. It is mainly caused by bacterial or viral infection.

At first, you may just feel sore throat and fever. As the disease progresses, you may have difficulty swallowing, drooling, and being unable to eat. In severe cases, you may suddenly have difficulty breathing.

Therefore, clinically, this is an acute disease that requires immediate intervention and treatment once detected.

This rap guy can still rap now because his epiglottitis is still in its early stages. This may be because the guy's cold lasted for two weeks and his immunity weakened, so he developed an epiglottitis infection.

However, acute epiglottitis develops very rapidly. Most of the time, gas roaring will appear within 24 hours of the onset, that is, there will be abnormal breath sounds when inhaling, followed by difficulty in swallowing, salivation, food refusal, and speech. Vagueness, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.

Especially for severely ill patients, dyspnea will appear earlier and progress rapidly. In severe cases, it can cause suffocation in 2-3 hours.

"Yes, doctor, I will play at noon tomorrow. This time it is an audition, but I am confident that I can enter the finals."

The rap guy said confidently.

"You have this tingling sensation in your throat. When did it start?"

Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart and asked the young man again.

"At noon, I feel a stinging pain in my throat when I wake up from my nap."

The rap guy continued.

Hearing Zhao Sheng's question and looking at Zhao Sheng's solemn expression, the rap boy clearly felt that the situation was not good.

"This situation is acute epiglottitis, which is a very dangerous disease that requires immediate hospitalization."

Zhao Sheng looked at the young man and said bluntly.

For an acute disease like acute epiglottitis, which can be fatal if not managed, we can no longer beat around the bush, we must speak directly.

Human life is at stake!
The most important thing is that acute epiglottitis is a disease that requires immediate intervention. Once it is not treated or is not treated properly, the disease will develop extremely quickly. You may be talking well one second, but you may be in trouble the next second. Difficulty breathing or even suffocation may occur.

Once suffocation occurs, that is, the trachea is blocked by epiglottis edema, tracheal intubation and ventilation must be performed. If the condition progresses to this level, but the person is not in the hospital and the doctor cannot intervene in time, it will be fatal!

"Ah? Doctor, it's not as serious as you said, is it?"

The rap guy said with some disbelief.

"The epiglottis is an important checkpoint in the human throat. To put it simply, the epiglottis is like a lid. When eating, it covers the trachea and prevents food from entering the trachea."

"Once inflammation occurs in the epiglottis, if it is not treated immediately, edema will occur, which will then block the trachea. Do you think it is serious or not?"

Zhao Sheng tried his best to explain his condition to the rapper in straightforward and simple language.

Maybe in this guy's eyes, he just has a cold, and he doesn't even need an injection. He just needs to take medicine and he will be cured.

"Doctor, please give me an infusion. I have to compete tomorrow." The rapper seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhao Sheng.

He still believes in doctors. Rap ​​is just his career. He himself is still a very well-behaved and decent young man.

Therefore, he, who was originally very afraid of injections and infusions, now had to risk it.

In fact, the majority of people are afraid of injections. The fear of sharp objects is engraved in DNA. In many cases, even if people know that injections will not cause much harm to themselves, this fear will still give people a lot of pain. A lot of pressure.

This fear of injections varies from person to person. Some people may look tall and tall, but when faced with injections, they may even faint from fear. This is human instinct and is difficult to restrain.

"This is not a matter of injections and infusions. In your current situation, you must be hospitalized and your condition must be monitored at any time."

Zhao Sheng said to the rap guy seriously.

"Doctor, isn't there an injection that goes into the neck? It's the kind that goes directly into the throat. Wouldn't it be better if you give me an injection?!"

"It's the kind where the voice is originally mute and can be cured with just one injection."

The young man will compete tomorrow, and of course he doesn't want to be hospitalized. This competition has put a lot of effort and expectations into him.

He is a rap artist, so it is very common in his circle to lose his voice due to playing too hard.

He often sees people with hoarse voices who can't play on the field. They just find a doctor and get an injection in the neck.

"The neck sealing injection you are talking about is a swelling injection for vocal cord edema. Your current situation is inflammation of the epiglottis. Local application of drugs alone cannot control the infection. Systemic medication is required, plus local application. Treatment."

Zhao Sheng explained patiently and said.

"Doctor, just give me an injection. I'll have to compete tomorrow!"

The rap guy was very excited and said anxiously.

Seeing that my brother who used to rap together made his debut last year by taking the C position in the competition, his performances were sold out, and his appearance price has reached six figures, this is simply more uncomfortable than killing him!
Therefore, he is bound to win this year's competition. He started preparing and working hard for it just last year.

"In your current situation, you must be hospitalized immediately. This disease can be fatal. This is not a joke!"

Zhao Sheng said to the young man very seriously again.

He can understand dreams and stuff, but life is more important!
"Doctor, I just have a fever and a sore throat. How could it be so serious?"

"I know there is such a shot. Doctor, just give me a shot, okay?"

The young man begged Zhao Sheng.

For tomorrow's game, he could say nothing.

"I tell you again, you must be hospitalized immediately! This disease is fatal!"

Zhao Sheng looked at the young man helplessly, his tone became more serious, and he spoke more directly.

He didn't believe it. He had already said so, but this guy still insisted not to be hospitalized.

Acute epiglottitis, once not controlled well in the early stage, will develop very rapidly. Within a few hours, epiglottitis will appear and lead to suffocation.

Once suffocation occurs, if it is not treated in time, the possibility of rescue is very small.

After all, suffocation caused by epiglottis edema is the most serious type of suffocation. You will lose consciousness within 1 minute, and death from suffocation will occur in 5 to 6 minutes at most.

5 minutes. Once this happens, unless the doctor happens to be standing by with a full set of equipment, there will be no time to send the patient to the hospital.
