Pediatric laryngitis develops rapidly, need to seek medical attention as soon as possible, and at night need to pay attention to the child’s breathing, sleeping posture, body temperature, etc..
Pediatric laryngitis is mostly acute laryngitis, due to the narrow laryngeal cavity of children, mucosa and submucosal tissue laxity, cough reflex is poor, once the acute inflammation occurs, it is easy to cause laryngeal obstruction leading to respiratory distress, or even respiratory failure and death. Therefore, it is necessary for parents to pay close attention to children with laryngitis at night.
The most important thing is to pay attention to the child’s respiration at night. If you hear the child’s croupy cough, inspiratory wheezing, or respiratory difficulties such as the triple concave sign, or purple lips and other symptoms of oxygen deprivation, you should inform the doctor for emergency treatment.
Parents should try to keep the child in the side-lying position at night to facilitate breathing at night.
The child is usually accompanied by fever, the night also need to pay attention to the child’s temperature changes, fever as soon as possible to lower the temperature treatment.
Pediatric laryngitis progresses rapidly and carries the risk of respiratory distress, so early medical attention and regular treatment under the guidance of a physician is recommended.
