specially reminded: acute laryngitis in children is very dangerous. If your child has also experienced a barking cough, you must hurry up and send it to the doctor and give the doctor some time for treatment!
Q
Why is acute laryngitis in children dangerous?
Laryngitis is divided into acute laryngitis and chronic laryngitis. Acute laryngitis usually comes on suddenly and will heal in less than 14 days. Among them, the most dangerous is acute laryngitis in children. From November to April of each year, infants and young children between the ages of 1-3 are very susceptible to acute laryngitis.
In autumn and winter, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, dry air, poor air circulation, bacteria and viruses are easy to multiply, and acute laryngitis is mostly caused by virus or bacterial infection. Common viruses are parainfluenza viruses, influenza viruses and adenoviruses, and common bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Baby
has relatively weak cough ability. After infection, respiratory secretions cannot be eliminated in time, and children’s immunity is low. After throat infection, the inflammation reaction is severe, which is also one of the important reasons for the frequent occurrence of laryngitis. Compared with adults,
has a small laryngeal cavity, soft laryngeal cartilage, rich mucosal lymphatic and glandular tissues, and loose throat mucosa. After the baby's throat is infected, it is more likely to have congestion, edema and throat obstruction. At this time, breathing difficulties and even suffocation will occur!
Q
Judgment of children suffering from acute laryngitis
Sick babies usually have fever, barking cough, hoarseness, breathing difficulties and other symptoms. Because the larynx covers the two mucous membranes of muscle and cartilage, under normal circumstances, the vocal cords open and close smoothly, forming sound through their movement and vibration. But laryngitis can cause inflammation of the vocal cords, so when the air passes through them, the sound is distorted, a barking cough, hoarseness and other phenomena occur.
If the throat is obstructed due to congestion or edema, the baby will have difficulty inhaling at this time. In severe cases, it may even appear purple, irritable, and rapid heart rate. Under normal circumstances, babies have milder symptoms during the day, and often worsen after falling asleep at night. Parents must pay attention to observing the death of the baby.
