"Doctor, am I alright?"

Seeing Zhao Sheng's solemn face, the rap boy couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"You said you were going to play tomorrow?"

Zhao Sheng said.

In the case of the rap boy, it is obvious that it is acute epiglottitis.

The epiglottis is an important checkpoint in the choke point.

Normally, the epiglottis is open, and air can enter and exit the airway freely, but when you eat and swallow, the epiglottis will cover the trachea like a lid, preventing food from entering the trachea.

However, when the epiglottis is inflamed, this "lid" will continue to swell, and in severe cases, it will swell into a ball, resulting in a closed airway and a person unable to breathe.

Acute epiglottitis is an acute inflammation of the throat that has a sudden onset and rapid progression, and tends to cause upper airway obstruction, mainly due to bacterial or viral infection.

At first, you may just feel a sore throat and fever, but as the disease progresses, you may have difficulty swallowing, drooling, unable to eat, and in severe cases, you may suddenly have difficulty breathing.

Therefore, clinically, it is an acute disease that requires immediate intervention and treatment as soon as it is detected.

This rapper guy can still rap now, that's because his epiglottitis is still in the early stages, which may be because the guy's cold lasted for two weeks and his immunity decreased, so he had epiglottis infection.

However, acute epiglottitis develops very rapidly, and most of the time, within 24 hours of the onset of the disease, there will be gas roaring, that is, abnormal breath sounds during inhalation, followed by dysphagia, saliva outflow, refusal to eat, slurred speech, and in severe cases, dyspnea.

Especially in severe cases, dyspnea appears early, progresses rapidly, and can suffocate in 2-3 hours in severe cases.

"Yes, doctor, I'm going to play tomorrow at noon, this time it's an audition, but I'm confident I'll make it to the finals."

The rap guy said with confidence.

"When did you start tingling in your throat?"

Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart and asked the guy again.

"At noon, I feel a stinging pain in my throat when I take a nap."

The rap guy continued.

Hearing Zhao Sheng's question, and then looking at Zhao Sheng's solemn face, the rap guy obviously felt that the situation was not good.

"In this case, it is acute epiglottitis, which is a very dangerous disease that requires immediate hospitalization."

Zhao Sheng looked at the guy and said bluntly.

For acute epiglottitis, which can be fatal if it is not done well, it can no longer beat around the bush and must be said directly.

Human life is at stake!

The most important thing is that acute epiglottitis is a disease that must be intervened immediately, once it is not treated or not treated in place, then the development of the disease will be extremely rapid, and it may be good to speak well in one second, and breathing difficulties or even suffocation will occur in the next second.

Once there is asphyxia, it is the trachea blocked by epiglottis edema, and it is necessary to carry out tracheal intubation and ventilation, if the condition progresses to this extent, but the person is not in the hospital, and the doctor cannot intervene in time, then it will be fatal!

"Huh? Doctor, it's not as serious as you say, is it? ”

The rap guy said with some disbelief.

"The epiglottis is an important checkpoint of the human throat, and to put it simply, the epiglottis is like a lid that covers the trachea during meals and prevents food from entering the trachea."

"Once the epiglottis is inflamed, if it is not treated immediately, edema will appear, and then the trachea will be blocked.

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

Maybe in the eyes of this guy, he has a cold, and he doesn't even need injections, just take medicine.

"Doctor, give me an infusion, I have to play tomorrow."

The rap guy seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhao Sheng.

For doctors, he still believes very much, rap, it's just his career, he himself, is still a very well-behaved and decent young man.

Therefore, he was originally very afraid of injections and infusions, but now he has to let go.

In fact, the fear of needles is the majority, the fear of sharp objects, is engraved in the DNA, many times people even know that the injection will not cause great harm to themselves, but this fear will still give people a lot of pressure.

This fear of injections varies from person to person, some people seem to be tall and thick, but in the face of injections, they will even faint in fear, which is human instinct and is difficult to restrain them.

"It's not a matter of injections and infusions, now your situation must be hospitalized and observed at any time."

Zhao Sheng said to the rap guy very seriously.

"Doctor, isn't there that kind of needle in the neck? It's the kind that goes straight to the throat, and if you give me an injection, wouldn't it be fine?!"

"It's the kind of voice that is hoarse, and an injection will be fine."

The guy is going to play tomorrow, of course he doesn't want to be hospitalized, this time the game has poured too much effort and expectations into him.

He plays rap, so it is very common in his circle to play too hard, resulting in a hoarse voice.

He often sees these people with hoarse voices who can't play in the first place, and it is good to find a doctor to inject them in the neck.

"The one you are talking about is a closed neck injection, a swelling injection for vocal cord edema, your current situation is that the epiglottis is inflamed, and the infection cannot be controlled by topical drugs alone, and systemic medication must be used, plus local treatment."

Zhao Sheng patiently explained.

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

The rapper guy was very emotional and said in a hurry.

Seeing the brothers who used to play rap together made their debut through the C position of the competition last year, and the performance venue was full, and the appearance price has reached six figures, which is simply more uncomfortable than killing him!

Therefore, this year's competition, he is bound to win, and he has only started to prepare and work hard for this last year.

"Your current situation, you must be hospitalized immediately, this disease is going to be fatal, this is not a joke!"

Zhao Sheng said to the guy very seriously again.

He can understand dreams or something, but life is more important!

"Doctor, I just have a little fever and a sore throat, how can it be so serious?"

"I know there's that kind of needle, doctor, just give me an injection, okay?"

The guy pleaded with Zhao Sheng and said.

For tomorrow's game, he can say that he can't take care of anything.

"I'll tell you again, you have to be hospitalized right away! This disease is deadly! ”

Zhao Sheng looked at the guy a little helplessly, his tone was heavier, and he said more directly.

He didn't believe it, he had already said so, and this guy insisted on not being hospitalized.

Acute epiglottitis, once not well controlled in the early stage, will develop very quickly, and within a few hours, epiglottis edema will appear leading to asphyxia.

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

After all, this kind of asphyxia caused by epiglottic edema is the most serious type of asphyxia, and you will lose consciousness within a minute, and at most 5 to 6 minutes, you will die of asphyxiation.

Five minutes, once this happens, unless the doctor happens to be guarding with a full set of equipment, it is too late to send the doctor to the hospital.
