What are the complications of acute laryngitis in children?

What complications can acute laryngitis in children cause? There are many reasons for acute laryngitis in children in life, which is often secondary to acute rhinitis and pharyngitis. When children suffer from this disease, they should be actively treated to avoid the progression of inflammation and the induction of other disease symptoms. So, what complications can acute laryngitis in children cause?

Three-depression sign: At the beginning, it is like a cold, fever, and cough. When the inflammation spreads and invades the larynx, a special bamboo-breaking cough may occur, which often occurs at night. The child will suddenly wake up and cry. Due to poor breathing, the child may have depressions in the suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal space when inhaling, accompanied by a rapid heartbeat, irritability, bluish lips, and flaring nostrils. When the condition worsens further, the child will be listless, the pulse will weaken, and the breath sounds will decrease. At this time, it is not that the condition has improved, but that it is caused by systemic failure caused by respiratory obstruction. If not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

Laryngeal obstruction: This disease is fierce and changes rapidly. The main harm is that it can cause laryngeal spasm or laryngeal obstruction in children. In severe cases, it can endanger the child's life. The larynx is located between the pharynx and the bronchus and is the only way for the human body to breathe. The tracheal cavity of children is relatively narrow. Once the mucosa and submucosal tissues swell due to inflammation, the glottis will narrow or laryngeal spasm will occur, which will cause laryngeal obstruction and severe breathing difficulties.

Hypoxemia: Some children suddenly have a croupous cough at night, hoarseness and concave symptoms, which is called spasmodic laryngitis. Continuous airway obstruction can cause the child's lips to turn blue or coma, and timely rescue is required. If not treated in time, the child often suffers from systemic failure due to ventilation disorders, and sometimes suddenly dies from severe hypoxemia.

During the treatment period, parents should pay attention to keeping children warm and let them go outdoors more often to strengthen their body and improve their resistance to diseases. Children with weak constitutions can take some nutritional supplements to nourish their body and strengthen their resistance. Children should also be taught to develop good hygiene habits of going to bed early and getting up early, and avoid contact with influenza patients. Windows and doors should be opened frequently to keep the indoor air fresh.
