Hi,
It is important to have a proper diagnosis whether this is due to laryngospasm or Angioneurotic oedema.
- You mother should carry a small case all the time that contains injections of antihistamine, steroid, adrenaline and atropine
- Should also have a note on the box so that any bystander can understand the problem and give her the injections immediately or shift to the nearest medical facility and give the injections
- MRI after the attack settles or during if possible so that a proper diagnosis can be done
- Opinion and ENT endoscopy
- Identify the factors, foods, beverages that cause such changes and to stop all these altogether
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
