[The role of nebulizer therapy in acute laryngeal inflammation].

Abstract

The addition of nebulizer therapy with antiedematous, steroid and mucolytic drugs to antibacterial therapy in patients with different forms of acute laryngitis was assessed. Basing on the main symptoms of the disease, three variants of nebulizer therapy were proposed. As shown by the results of treatment of 48 patients with catarrhal laryngitis, 19 patients with laryngeal angina and 27 patients with phlegmonous laryngitis, nebulizer therapy is highly effective in different forms of laryngeal diseases including purulent process with stenosis.
