How many times is it useful take anthibiotics for a laringotracheitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually viral: This is usually just a fancy word for an upper respiratory infection that makes you hoarse. In most cases you wouldn't treat it with antibiotics, because it's most often caused by a virus. However, if you have a bacterial infection, sometimes caused by staph, you need to be treated. Serious tracheitis is more common in children than adults. Any difficulty breathing requires immediate attention.
