What are the causes of acute laryngitis in children?

Acute laryngitis in children is more common in winter and spring in children aged 6 months to 3 years. It is easily cured as long as it is discovered early and treated in time. However, it is easy to relapse after recovery if it is not carefully cared for. In order to strengthen care and avoid recurrence, we must first understand the factors of acute laryngitis in children and try to avoid infection. Let us now understand what are the factors of acute laryngitis in children?

Acute laryngitis in children is mainly caused by long-term inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa, and also by bacterial or viral infection. It is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection and may become a precursor or complication of some acute infectious diseases. The onset is relatively rapid, and children are often accompanied by fever, cough, hoarseness and other symptoms. The hoarseness is not serious in the early stage, and it is mostly coughing or breathing difficulties. The symptoms are more severe at night. If the mucosal edema worsens later, expiratory laryngeal wheezing will occur. Therefore, for children with laryngitis, parents should actively and effectively treat it after discovering it as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the condition. If parents ignore it, the harm is quite large and it is easy to cause complications.

Acute laryngitis in children is often secondary to acute rhinitis and pharyngitis. Malnutrition, low resistance, allergic constitution and chronic upper respiratory tract diseases in children are all prone to acute laryngitis. The weather is relatively cold, and children have poor resistance. They are prone to catching cold when the weather changes slightly, leading to upper respiratory tract infection, commonly known as cold, and severe cases will cause acute laryngitis.

In order to prevent the occurrence of acute laryngitis in children, parents should pay attention to keeping children warm in late autumn, and let them go outdoors more often to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their disease resistance. For children with weaker physical constitutions, drugs that increase the body's immunity, such as Sconchi and transfer factor, should be used. Children should also be educated 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. If a child is found to have upper respiratory tract inflammation such as influenza, timely diagnosis and treatment should be given. Children with symptoms of acute laryngitis should be treated promptly, and changes in the condition should be observed at any time to prevent accidents.
