How to prevent acute laryngitis in children

How to prevent acute laryngitis in children? When it comes to acute laryngitis in children, many people may not know much about it. In fact, this disease is quite common. Most children with acute laryngitis in children develop the disease very quickly. They are suddenly awakened at night, become irritable, have fever, and hoarseness. At the same time, there are bursts of whistle-like sounds. At this time, the cough sounds extremely special, like a puppy's cough, which is called a "barking cough" or a "croup-like cough."

In severe cases, due to lack of oxygen, the nose wings will flutter, the face, lips and nails will be cyanotic, and the supraclavicular fossa, suprasternal fossa and upper abdomen will be significantly sunken when inhaling, which is called the "three-depression sign". The child's breathing changes from short and slow to fast and shallow. At this time, the child should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. Because long-term breathing difficulties in children will cause hypoxia in the body, especially brain hypoxia and myocardial hypoxia, which will cause serious consequences and even life-threatening.
