What causes acute laryngitis in children?

The weather is getting colder, and it is the high-incidence season for acute laryngitis in children. Although this disease is a common pediatric disease, if it is not treated in time, it will delay the disease and cause serious consequences. Therefore, once a child suffers from acute laryngitis in children, you must not be careless. In order to detect and prevent its occurrence as early as possible, we must know how acute laryngitis in children is caused?

Acute laryngitis in children is mainly caused by long-term inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa, as well as bacterial or viral infections. It is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infections and may be a precursor or complication of some acute infectious diseases. It is common in children aged 6 months to 3 years old, with hoarseness and barking cough as the main characteristics. In severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening laryngeal obstruction. The reason why the incidence of acute laryngitis in children is the highest at this time is that the weather is relatively cold in this season, and children have poor resistance. They are prone to catching cold with a slight change in the weather, leading to upper respiratory tract infections, and severe cases will cause acute laryngitis. Acute laryngitis in children often develops rapidly and progresses rapidly. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly and effectively, serious complications and sequelae may occur. Therefore, if you are sick, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

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.
