Do you know the common sense about acute laryngitis in children?

The weather is getting cooler, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Children are more likely to get sick due to their poor resistance. Children with acute laryngitis are particularly common in the pediatric ward of the hospital. In order to reduce the infection rate of children or alleviate the symptoms of children, parents must understand some common knowledge about acute laryngitis in children.

Acute laryngitis in children is a common disease in infants and young children, and it often occurs in late autumn. The disease is mostly caused by viruses, bacteria or allergies, and is often secondary to pharyngitis, rhinitis or colds. There are symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as fever, cough, runny nose, hoarseness, etc. 1-2 days before the onset of the disease, and the mental state is still good. As the disease progresses, the inflammation continues to spread downward from the pharynx, causing inflammatory swelling of the laryngeal mucosa. In addition, the narrow laryngeal cavity of children is the only way to breathe air. At this time, the sick child often suddenly has a bamboo-breaking cough at night and has difficulty breathing. In severe cases, the sternum and suprasternal fossa appear inspiratory collapse. The disease develops rapidly. If not treated in time, the child often suffers from systemic failure due to ventilation disorders, and sometimes suddenly dies of severe hypoxemia.

Acute laryngitis in children is common in children aged 6 months to 3 years. It is an acute inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa, mainly in the glottis area. It can be caused by viral or bacterial infection, and is often secondary to upper respiratory tract infection. It can also be a precursor symptom or complication of certain acute infectious diseases. It is mainly characterized by hoarseness and a barking cough. In severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening laryngeal obstruction. Acute laryngitis in children often starts suddenly 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. The incidence of acute laryngitis in children is the highest at this time because 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 infection. Severe cases will cause acute laryngitis.

Acute laryngitis in children, commonly known as "lock throat", is characterized by rapid onset, fierce onset, and severe symptoms. If not treated in time, it will endanger life.
