What are the methods to prevent acute laryngitis in children? Acute laryngitis requires correct prevention, so it is necessary for parents to understand that acute laryngitis in children is common in infants and young children aged 6 months to 3 years. Due to the anatomical characteristics of the child's throat, it is easy to swell and cause laryngeal obstruction after inflammation. Children's coughing function is not strong, and it is not easy to expel laryngeal and lower respiratory tract secretions, which makes breathing difficulties worse. Therefore, the condition of acute laryngitis in children is often more serious than that of adults. If not diagnosed and treated in time, it may be life-threatening.

What are the symptoms of acute laryngitis in children?

1. Children usually have mild cold symptoms first, and may not have a fever or only have a mild fever. The most prominent symptom is a particularly severe cough, but it has a very typical characteristic, that is, the sound is "clang clang clang" like a dog's barking, and the voice is hoarse.

2. The patient's condition is milder during the day, but often worsens at night.

3. The larynx is the only way for air to pass through. If the laryngeal tissue is not yet mature, the larynx is very narrow, but the lymphatic vessels and blood vessels are very rich. Once inflamed, a large amount of inflammatory fluid will infiltrate into the loose laryngeal tissue, causing the larynx to swell rapidly.

How to prevent acute laryngitis in children

1. Increase outdoor activities, get more sunlight, strengthen your physical fitness, and improve your disease resistance.

2. Pay attention to climate changes, add or remove clothes in time to avoid cold or heat.

3. During the cold epidemic, try to reduce going out to prevent infection.

4. Live a regular life, eat in moderation, have regular daily routines, go to bed at night and get up early to avoid catching a cold.

5. Avoid convection wind when sleeping.

6. If acute laryngitis in children is treated promptly, the prognosis is generally good and no sequelae will be left.

Acute laryngitis is often secondary to acute rhinitis and pharyngitis. When children suffer from this disease, they should be actively treated to prevent the progression of inflammation. Acute laryngitis is easily induced when children are malnourished, have low resistance, have allergic constitutions, and have chronic upper respiratory tract diseases. The above causes or inducements should be actively treated or corrected.
