• Immediate steps should be taken to secure the patient's airway either by intubation or placement of a tracheostomy.
• Empiric combination antibiotic therapy with a third-generation cephalosporin and an antistaphylococcal agent is usually recommended.
• Administration of supplemental humidified oxygen along with IV hydration can help to limit the risk of sudden airway obstruction.
• Edema typically improves within 2 to 3 days of initiating antimicrobial treatment.
• Extubation criteria include resolution of the patient's fever, odynophagia/dysphagia symptoms, and airway edema as assessed by nasolaryngoscopy or a positive cuff leak test.
