What are the preventive measures for acute laryngitis in children? Many people don’t know much about this issue. In fact, laryngitis is very common in our lives, and acute laryngitis in children is no exception. However, many parents do not care about it. This is wrong. Acute laryngitis in children is a sudden disease of the throat. After the onset of the disease, children will experience symptoms such as sore throat and hoarseness. Acute laryngitis in children is a common disease in infancy and childhood, 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 inflammation and 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. When the breathing difficulty is severe, the sternum and the suprasternal fossa will experience inspiratory collapse. The disease develops rapidly. If not treated in time, the child often induces systemic failure due to ventilation disorders, and sometimes suddenly dies of severe hypoxemia.

1. Balanced diet, reasonable feeding, and adequate nutrient intake can enhance the body's resistance. Breastfeeding is encouraged to prevent and treat rickets and malnutrition. Eat more fruits and dried fruits such as pears, raw radishes, and plums to enhance the maintenance of the throat.

2. Add or remove clothes in time according to changes in temperature. Do not wear too many clothes. Change the sweaty clothes in time after children sweat to avoid catching a cold due to cold.

3. Regular "three-bath" exercises (i.e. sunbath, water bath, and air bath) are extremely important for strengthening children's physique and improving their ability to adapt to temperature changes.

4. During the cold epidemic, do not take children to crowded public places with turbid air, and do not let children come into contact with patients with colds. When someone at home has a cold, try to reduce contact with children. Open windows frequently to ventilate and keep the indoor air fresh and flowing. Fumigating the room with vinegar can kill pathogens in the air.

The above are some ways to prevent laryngitis in children. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Take timely prevention measures to avoid laryngitis delaying children's study and life. Once the disease occurs, it should be treated in time.
