Nighttime emergency spray for acute laryngitis in children

To treat acute laryngitis in children at night, you can immediately use budesonide spray to relieve laryngeal inflammation and edema, while keeping the indoor air moist to prevent children from crying and making the symptoms worse. Acute laryngitis in children is often caused by viral infection, and swelling of the laryngeal mucosa leads to breathing difficulties, and symptoms tend to worsen at night.

1. Drug treatment is the first choice for acute laryngitis. Budesonide spray is a topical glucocorticoid that can quickly reduce laryngeal edema and inflammation and relieve dyspnea. Dexamethasone injection is suitable for children with more severe symptoms and has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. If necessary, epinephrine nebulization inhalation can be used to urgently relieve laryngeal spasm and edema.

2. Environmental adjustment is crucial to relieve symptoms. Keeping the indoor air moist, using a humidifier or placing a basin of water in the room can relieve dryness and discomfort in the throat. Avoid exposing children to cold air or irritating gases such as smoke or dust to prevent aggravation of symptoms.

3. Soothing the child can help reduce the worsening of dyspnea. When acute laryngitis occurs, the child may cry due to dyspnea, further aggravating laryngeal edema. Parents should remain calm, gently soothe the child, and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.

4. Diet adjustment can help speed up recovery. Provide your child with warm, easy-to-swallow food, such as porridge or puree, and avoid irritating food. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and reduce discomfort.

5. Observe the changes in the condition closely and seek medical attention promptly if necessary. If the child has severe breathing difficulties, cyanosis, or confusion, he/she should be taken to the hospital immediately for further treatment.

The key to treating nocturnal attacks of acute laryngitis in children is to quickly relieve laryngeal edema and breathing difficulties, while keeping the environment moist and calming the child's emotions, and seeking medical attention in a timely manner if necessary to ensure safety.
