Will acute laryngitis in children affect their speech? The main pathological changes of acute laryngitis in children are congestion and edema of the larynx. The symptoms are mild during the day and worsen at night. The symptoms are like a cold, fever, and cough at the beginning. When the inflammation spreads and invades the larynx, a special bamboo-breaking cough may occur. So, will acute laryngitis in children affect children's speech?

Although acute laryngitis in children is very harmful, it can be cured quickly as long as it is treated actively, so it will not affect the child's speech. Acute laryngitis in children often starts suddenly and progresses rapidly, with symptoms such as hoarseness, laryngeal sound, barking cough, and inspiratory dyspnea.

Most of them are caused by bacterial or viral infections. The initial symptoms are 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 experience depressions in the suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal space when inhaling, accompanied by a rapid heartbeat, irritability, bluish lips, and flaring of the nose.

When the condition worsens, the child becomes listless, has a weakened pulse, and has low breathing sounds. This is not an improvement in the condition, but rather a systemic failure caused by respiratory obstruction. If not treated in time, it will be life-threatening. Therefore, if parents find that their children have symptoms such as coughing and runny nose, and soon develop a cough like a bamboo, they should not think that it is just a cold. They should take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment, otherwise the child may develop laryngeal spasm and laryngeal obstruction in a very short time.

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.
