What causes acute laryngitis in children?

It's time for the change of seasons again. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and children are prone to catching colds. Many children even develop acute laryngitis in children. So what causes acute laryngitis in children? Here we will take you to learn about the explanations of doctors and experts on the causes 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 is easily induced by malnutrition, low resistance, allergic constitution and chronic upper respiratory tract diseases in children, and often occurs in combination with acute infectious diseases or upper respiratory tract infections. The onset is rapid, the disease progresses rapidly, and the larynx of children is small and narrow. If they get laryngitis, the larynx will swell, which often causes serious complications - laryngeal obstruction, leading to difficulty breathing and even life-threatening. Therefore, acute laryngitis in children is clinically listed as one of the dangerous emergencies and is given priority treatment.

Although this disease is serious, as long as young parents understand the relevant knowledge and discover it early and seek timely treatment, acute laryngitis in children can be completely prevented and treated.
