What medicine should children take for laryngitis

Children's pharyngitis mostly occurs in children under five years old. Because children under five years old are not fully developed, many organs in the body are particularly fragile, especially near the laryngeal cavity, where there are many soft tissues and they are particularly soft, which can easily cause infection. The infection will induce inflammation and cause children to suffer from children's laryngitis. So what medicine should children take for children with laryngitis?

The initial symptoms of this disease are upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as fever, runny nose, mild cough, red throat, and sore throat, followed by a dry cough, or difficult sputum production, a hoarse cough, or even a barking-like cough, with sputum sounds when inhaling, rapid and rough breathing, accompanied by mental fatigue, hoarse voice, irritability and crying. Some children do not have symptoms of coughing, but their condition rapidly worsens, with obvious difficulty breathing, and may have indentations in the supraclavicular fossa, suprasternal fossa and upper abdomen, which is what medical students call the "three-depression syndrome." There may also be a series of symptoms of breathing difficulties, such as lowering the head to breathe, flaring nostrils, and even blue lips and dark complexion. If not treated in time, the child may suffocate due to breathing difficulties or die from circulatory failure. Therefore, you must not take this disease lightly. If you find that you may have this disease, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

The treatment for acute laryngitis mainly uses large doses of antibiotics through intravenous drip, which is more effective. Sputum blocking the throat is also a major feature of this disease. Oral expectorants and cough suppressants can help dilute and expel the sputum. For children with sudden breathing difficulties, tracheotomy is required to save the child's life. At this time, parents should cooperate closely with the doctor and must not hesitate, so as not to lose the opportunity for rescue. Children with laryngitis should be given a quiet environment, preferably accompanied by their closest relatives, to reduce their crying, because any fright and activity will aggravate breathing difficulties. When feeding medicine to children, parents should persuade the children to cooperate to avoid breathing difficulties caused by force-feeding due to non-cooperation.

In order to prevent the occurrence of acute laryngitis in children, parents should pay attention to keeping their children warm and let them do more outdoor activities to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their disease resistance. Children with weak constitutions can take some nutritional supplements in winter to replenish their vital energy and enhance their resistance. Children should be educated to develop good hygiene habits of going to bed early and getting up early, and avoid contact with patients with respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza and measles. Windows should be opened frequently to ventilate the room and keep the indoor air fresh. Once a child is found to have upper respiratory tract inflammation such as influenza, timely diagnosis and treatment should be given. Children with symptoms of laryngitis should be treated promptly and their condition should be monitored at any time to prevent unexpected changes.
