What diseases can cause acute laryngitis in children

What diseases can acute laryngitis in children cause? Because children have weak resistance and incomplete development in all aspects, they have no ability to resist the invasion of diseases. Acute laryngitis in children is a relatively serious pediatric disease, and infants and young children are prone to it. Let's take a look at what diseases can acute laryngitis in children cause?

Laryngeal obstruction: The main lesions of this disease are in the subglottic area, with congestion of the mucosa, submucosal edema, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Due to the narrow laryngeal cavity, weak cartilage, and loose tissue in children, edema is easily caused, leading to laryngeal obstruction. In addition, due to the poor coughing function of children, it is difficult to expel secretions, which makes laryngeal obstruction more likely to be aggravated.

Three-depression sign : Symptoms are like a cold at first, with 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 experience 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, with a weakened pulse and reduced breath sounds. This is not an improvement in the condition, but a systemic failure caused by respiratory obstruction. If not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

Breathing difficulties : 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 bronchi 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 cause severe breathing difficulties.

We should care for and be considerate of the children, try to meet their needs, be gentle and kind when caring for them, so as to eliminate their fear. When the children are irritable, we should use sedatives, but avoid using drugs that inhibit breathing. At the same time, we should pay attention to aseptic techniques when performing various operations to reduce all chances of infection.
