Why do children suffer from acute laryngitis?

Children are prone to illness when the seasons change or in winter and spring, especially acute laryngitis in children, which is a common disease in children. If not treated properly, the disease will recur again and again, which makes the children uncomfortable and the adults feel distressed, but they don’t know how to relieve the children’s pain. The best way to relieve the children’s pain is to strengthen prevention and try to prevent the children from getting sick. The following will show you why children suffer from acute laryngitis in children, so that we can pay more attention to it and take good prevention measures.

Experts point out that children are prone to acute laryngitis mainly for the following reasons:

1. Acute laryngitis is easily induced in children with malnutrition, low resistance, allergic constitution and chronic upper respiratory tract diseases. The weather is relatively cold, and children have poor resistance. They are easily caught cold when the weather changes slightly, leading to upper respiratory tract infection, and severe cases will cause acute laryngitis.

2. Acute laryngitis in children often occurs secondary to acute rhinitis and pharyngitis.

3. Children have abundant mucosal and glandular tissues in their throats. Children not only have abundant mucosal lymphatic vessels, but also the tissues under the mucosa are relatively loose, so when they are infected or inflamed, the swelling is very severe.

4. The laryngeal cavity of children is narrow, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the glottis and subglottic area is much smaller than that of adults. Once the laryngeal mucosa swells due to inflammation, it will cause breathing difficulties.

5. Children have weak coughing function, and it is difficult for them to expel secretions in the throat and trachea, which can easily cause laryngeal spasm and laryngeal obstruction.

6. Children's laryngeal cartilage is relatively soft and weak in support. When the larynx is narrowed due to inflammation, the negative pressure in the chest, trachea and larynx of the child increases during the inhalation phase, causing the laryngeal cartilage to sink in the middle and the laryngeal cavity to become narrower.

The above are the reasons why children may suffer from acute pediatric laryngitis. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Finally, I hope every baby can grow up healthy and happy.
