What medicine should children take for laryngitis and cough

Pharyngitis is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate among children. Since the throat is an important part for children to eat and speak, any inflammation must be treated in time, otherwise it will have a great impact on the development of the child's vocal cords. Medication is a good way to treat pediatric pharyngitis. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about pediatric pharyngitis in detail!

1. Causes of laryngitis in children

This is mainly due to the low immune function of children. The mucosal tissue in the subglottic area of ​​children is loose and has rich lymphatic vessels. When there is inflammation, the mucosa and submucosal edema are very likely to occur. In addition, the laryngeal cavity of children is narrow and the laryngeal cartilage support is weak. When subglottic edema occurs, a "hollow, hollow" cough will occur. Children have poor coughing function. The nerves are sensitive and when stimulated, they can easily cause laryngeal spasm and laryngeal obstruction, which seriously affects ventilation and can be life-threatening if not properly treated. Therefore, when a child's voice becomes a little hoarse at the beginning of laryngitis, even if there is no difficulty breathing, it should be taken more seriously than a common cold and treated more actively.
