Monitoring
No long-term monitoring is needed after resolution of the acute episode. Follow up should be obtained with an otolaryngologist upon discharge from the hospital to ensure no sequelae from the resultant intubation. If necessary, follow up with the infectious-disease physicians treating the patient may be added. It is recommended that immunisation be obtained if not done previously. If previously vaccinated, titres with Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) may be checked, as vaccine failures have been reported.[12]
