What complications may occur in children with acute laryngitis

What complications can be induced by acute laryngitis in children? When children are sick, parents are the most worried. Especially for acute laryngitis in children, the condition is serious and develops rapidly. Once it is found, active treatment is needed to curb the occurrence of serious complications. So, what complications can be induced by acute laryngitis in children?

Acute laryngitis in children often starts suddenly and progresses quickly. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly and effectively, serious complications and sequelae may occur. Therefore, once you are sick, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. This disease mainly induces the following complications, and parents of children with this disease must pay enough attention to it:

1. Laryngeal spasm: In the early stage, the main symptom is laryngospasm, hoarseness is usually not serious, and it manifests as paroxysmal barking cough or dyspnea. In severe cases, symptoms include cyanosis, irritability, flaring of the nostrils, cold sweats, and accelerated pulse. The symptoms are mild during the day and worsen at night.

2. "Triple Concavity": Children have a narrow throat, which is the only way to breathe air. At this time, the patient often suddenly coughs like bamboo cracking at night, has difficulty breathing, and sometimes makes a "roar, roar" sound like a dog barking. Significant inspiratory dyspnea can be seen in the depression of the upper sternal fossa, intercostal fossa and subxiphoid fossa of the child, showing a typical triple concavity symptom.

3. Laryngeal obstruction: Because the laryngeal cavity of children is small and the mucosa in the larynx is loose, swelling can easily lead to glottal obstruction. Children have poor cough reflexes and tracheal and laryngeal secretions are difficult to discharge, which can easily cause severe laryngeal obstruction. If timely and effective treatment is not taken, the condition may worsen progressively, endangering the health and even life of the child.

4. Hypoxemia: Some children suddenly have a croupous cough at night, hoarseness and concave symptoms, which is called spasmodic laryngitis. Continuous airway obstruction can cause the child's lips to turn blue or coma, and timely rescue is required. If not treated in time, the child often suffers from systemic failure due to ventilation disorders, and sometimes suddenly dies of severe hypoxemia.

In autumn and winter, parents should pay attention to the temperature changes, add or remove clothes in time, and cover the children with quilts when they fall asleep at night to prevent them from catching cold. When children suffer from acute laryngitis, they should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Because children are not allowed to take vitamin C supplements, they should eat some fruits rich in vitamin C in their daily lives.
