Which department should I go to for acute laryngitis in children?

As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, so no one can avoid getting sick, and children are more likely to get sick due to their poor resistance. If they are sick, they have to go to the hospital. Nowadays, medicine is becoming more and more advanced, and the division of hospital departments is becoming more and more refined. When you go to the hospital for treatment, you must register according to the condition in order to get faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment. So what department should children with acute laryngitis go to?

According to the division principles of hospital departments, children with acute laryngitis are recommended to go to the pediatric department or the otolaryngology department for treatment. Children with acute laryngitis are serious and need to go to the emergency department.

Since the initial symptoms of acute laryngitis in children are not very obvious, it is important to distinguish it from other diseases with similar symptoms in the early stages to avoid delaying the disease.

1. Foreign bodies in the respiratory tract. First of all, it should be distinguished from foreign bodies in the respiratory tract. Acute laryngitis usually has no history of foreign body inhalation. Before the onset of the disease, there may be a history of upper respiratory tract infection such as fever, runny nose, cough, etc., which can be distinguished from it.

2. Laryngospasm in children should also be differentiated from simple laryngospasm in children. Laryngospasm is common in younger infants. There may be laryngeal wheezing during inhalation, with a sharp and thin tone. The attack time is relatively short, and the symptoms may disappear suddenly. There is no hoarseness or fever.

3. Congenital laryngeal diseases. Congenital laryngeal diseases such as congenital laryngomalacia may also cause symptoms such as honking and dyspnea, which can be distinguished through various laryngoscopic examinations.

Accurate and rapid diagnosis is conducive to the recovery of the disease and allows the baby to recover as soon as possible. In addition to timely medical treatment, children should also start with conditioning and strengthen prevention.

1. If a child has acute laryngitis, the baby should be allowed to rest more, and should be allowed to lie flat or half-lying as much as possible to keep the airway open.

2. Ensure a quiet environment with good air circulation.

3. Eat a light diet and drink plenty of water. Do not eat or drink irritating foods.

4. Let your baby cry less.

5. Pay attention to the child's breathing and heart rate, and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.
