How to Prevent Epiglottitis
You can take certain preventive measures to reduce the risk of developing epiglottitis. When children reach 2 months of age, they should get 2 to 3 doses of the HiB vaccine. Since infection can cause the condition, it is important to apply alcohol sanitizer or wash your hands regularly to prevent bacteria from spreading. Do not share utensils or food and drink or eat from the same dishes or cups.
It is also important to boost the immune system by resting sufficiently, quitting smoking, working out regularly, managing chronic medical conditions, and having a balanced diet.[10]
