Allow the child to maintain a position of comfort, typically sitting upright, and avoid forcing them into a supine position. Prepare for emergency airway management by having equipment like a bag-valve-mask and endotracheal tubes ready, and ensure personnel skilled in difficult pediatric airways are available.
Never examine the throat with a tongue depressor in a child with stridor unless in a controlled setting like the operating room. This can trigger laryngospasm and precipitate complete airway obstruction. Avoid throat cultures and other invasive procedures until the airway is secure.
