Question: My husband is having some sort of reaction. His larynx is swollen he has an itchy throat as well. Is there any home remedy or should he see a doctor?
Brief Answer:
OVER THE COUNTER CITRIZINE. If persistent, See a Doctor Immediately.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having itchiness in throat with swollen neck.
As such, any reaction starts with itching in throat or skin. In severe form of reaction, change of voice and breathlessness will be seen. Any way, you can start over the counter anti-allergic medications like cetirizine 10 mg as a stat dose.
In case of persistent or prolonged symptoms( hoarseness of voice, breathlessness or increasing neck swelling (laryngeal swelling and congestion can cause airway obstruction), you need to visit an ENT surgeon. Depending on the examination reports further treatment can be started.
