Respiratory Diphtheria Symptoms & Care by akshar2596 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Respiratory diphtheria symptoms begin 2-5 days after exposure, starting with sore throat and pharyngeal inflammation, potentially leading to a pseudomembrane that can obstruct airways. Emergency treatment should commence immediately, including isolation, airway management, and antibiotic therapy with erythromycin or penicillin. Close monitoring of cardiac activity and supportive care are crucial for patients exhibiting severe symptoms.
