Doctor's Reminder:

If your child coughs and makes an "empty" sound

Be sure to pay attention! It is likely to be acute laryngitis and requires prompt medical attention

Treated 10 patients with acute laryngitis in one night that they had never encountered before

"Doctor, come and see, my child is struggling to breathe and is about to lose his breath!" Recently, at 2 o'clock in the morning, there was a rush of footsteps in the pediatric emergency room of Hangzhou Fuyang District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and a mother walked into the clinic anxiously with her 3-year-old child, who made an "empty" sound when coughing.

That night, the attending physician Jiang Wei was on duty. Immediately after receiving the consultation, he examined the child. At that time, the child was short of breath and hoarse, and according to the child's symptoms, Jiang Wei was preliminarily diagnosed with acute laryngitis. Oxygen saturation is then measured to further clarify the condition, and oxygen and nebulization therapy are given. After 2 times of nebulization inhalation, the child's symptoms were significantly relieved, and the family's hanging heart was finally relieved.

Jiang Wei said that acute laryngitis is an acute inflammation of the larynx, usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and may also be related to allergic reactions. It is characterized by acute onset and rapid progression, which is common in infants and young children under 3 years old, with laryngeal edema and vocal cord inflammation as the main manifestations. In addition, acute laryngitis is prone to attack at night, and in recent emergency departments, there have been many cases of acute laryngitis.

"We saw 10 patients with acute laryngitis that night, which had never happened before." Jiang Wei deduced that this situation was caused by a combination of reasons. "After the start of school, children gathered together are prone to cross-infection, coupled with the frequent occurrence of typhoons recently, the temperature changes significantly, resulting in an increase in the number of children infected with the virus.

Acute laryngitis is similar to the clinical symptoms of a cold, but it has a rapid onset and rapid progression, and there is a risk of death by suffocation

Acute laryngitis, like the common cold, is easy to be ignored by parents because of symptoms such as cough, fever, nasal congestion, and runny nose at first. "Although acute laryngitis is similar to the clinical symptoms of a cold and is mostly caused by a viral infection, it has a rapid onset and rapid progression, and there is a risk of death by suffocation." Zhou Gaoli, director of the emergency department of the District Women's Hospital, reminded parents, "We must learn to recognize acute laryngitis, and once an abnormal situation is found, seek medical attention in time." ”

The doctor reminds that every autumn and winter is the high incidence period of various respiratory diseases, and we must pay attention to prevention. Ensure that children have enough sleep and proper exercise, eat a balanced diet, enhance immunity, and reduce the chance of infection with viruses and bacteria; Open windows frequently to ventilate and maintain indoor air circulation to reduce bacteria and viruses in the air; Try to avoid taking children to crowded places, such as supermarkets and shopping malls, to reduce contact with infected people; Give your child relevant vaccinations in time to prevent viral infection.

How can parents identify acute laryngitis in children?

One is a barking cough, that is, an echoed cough, like a puppy barking;

second, the voice is hoarse, and the child is sometimes completely speechless and unable to cry;

The third is inspiratory laryngeal sounds, laryngitis causes severe congestion and edema of the throat, resulting in airway obstruction, which is manifested as laryngeal sound (similar to the crowing of a rooster) during inhalation and not obvious during exhalation;

Fourth, fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc.

Diffusion! Remind those around you!
