Symptoms of laryngitis in a 2-year-old baby

Laryngitis refers to chronic inflammation caused by bacterial infection of laryngeal mucosa or improper use of voice, which can be divided into chronic simple laryngitis, chronic hypertrophic laryngitis and chronic atrophic laryngitis. Laryngitis is the result of acute laryngitis.

The symptoms of baby laryngitis can be caused by virus or bacterial infection, often secondary to upper respiratory tract infection, such as common cold, acute rhinitis, pharyngitis, but also secondary to some acute infectious diseases, such as influenza, measles, pertussis, etc. the onset is often acute, children have fever, often accompanied by cough, hoarseness, etc. In the early stage, laryngeal spasm was the main symptom, hoarseness was not serious, manifested as paroxysmal barking cough or dyspnea, and then inflammation invaded the subglottic area, resulting in "empty" and "empty" cough.

The edema of subglottic mucosa is aggravated, and inspiratory laryngeal wheezing may appear. The severe patients may have dyspnea during inspiratory period, flapping of nasal wings, subsidence of suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, intercostal space and upper abdominal soft tissue during inspiratory period (clinically known as three concave sign), restlessness, flapping of nasal wings, cold sweat, rapid pulse and other symptoms.

matters needing attention

1. Encourage children to have more rest. Sleep with a few pillows on the child's back and head to prevent the secretion of mucus dripping down his throat. The baby can put a pillow under the cushion of the head; 2. Let children have a smoke-free environment, pay attention to maintain indoor air circulation, avoid gas, dust and other stimulation; 3. Don't take a bath when the child is sick, because taking a bath will make the blood circulation vigorous, which is not conducive to quiet, and will get cold again. Children with phlegm will increase their secretions due to bathing. They can only take a bath before going to sleep when they have a slight cough in the morning after a week of illness, have a good appetite, can play, and do not have a fever. If they sleep well, they can take a bath every other day; 4. Reduce the time of outdoor activities, do not go to crowded public places; 5. For children who cough repeatedly and get sick, they should strengthen physical exercise to enhance disease resistance.
