Night care for baby with acute laryngitis

Acute laryngitis is a common disease, and babies are one of the main groups suffering from the disease. The main cause of acute laryngitis is viral invasion, which will cause a lot of mucus in the baby's respiratory tract, which can easily lead to breathing difficulties, mucus blocking the respiratory tract, etc. In addition to good treatment, parents should actively provide timely care and pay attention to care at night to avoid situations that are not conducive to the baby's health.

Home care for acute laryngitis in children. When babies suffer from acute laryngitis in children, many new parents become anxious. Despite the doctor's treatment plan, the baby is suffering from the disease and needs careful care from both parents both physically and emotionally. Baby experts have the following suggestions:

1. Let the baby rest more, lie flat or half-lying as much as possible, and keep the airway open;

2. Keep the environment quiet and well ventilated;

3. Eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid eating or drinking irritating foods;

4. Let the baby use his voice less and avoid crying;

5. Pay attention to your baby's breathing, heart rate, etc., and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.

How to prevent acute laryngitis in children

1. Babies should avoid going to crowded places with polluted air. During the cold epidemic, try to reduce going out to prevent infection. The room should also be ventilated by opening windows more often. It should be noted that convection wind should be avoided when the baby is sleeping.

2. Pay attention to climate changes. When the weather changes suddenly, you should add or remove clothes for your baby in time to avoid cold or heat.

3. Correct malnutrition caused by picky eating. In addition, children who are calcium deficient are more likely to get this disease, especially those who are fatter, grow faster, and are relatively calcium deficient. They are more likely to develop acute laryngitis or recurrent attacks. Therefore, regular and timely calcium supplementation can also reduce the chance of disease.

4. Get adequate sun exposure to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your disease resistance.

5. Correct children’s incorrect vocalization methods, such as screaming, etc., teach them to maintain oral hygiene, and develop good habits of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening and rinsing their mouths after meals. Eating more fruits or dried fruits such as pears and plums is beneficial to the maintenance of the throat and enhances the throat's resistance to disease.

Do not use medication indiscriminately if you suffer from acute laryngitis. Once parents find that their children have a barking-like or "hollow" cough, or have symptoms of laryngitis such as difficulty breathing, they should take their children to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Never take it lightly just because the child's fever is not high or there is no fever at all. Do not avoid going to the hospital because of inconvenient transportation in the middle of the night or the cold nights in winter. Do not take cough suppressants or sedatives at will, because some drugs can cause difficulty in expectoration and aggravate respiratory obstruction.

Before going to the hospital, you should prevent the child from crying and try to calm the child down to prevent the child from worsening hypoxia and breathing difficulties.

Parents need to be reminded that acute laryngitis in children may also be a precursor or complication of certain acute infectious diseases, such as influenza, pneumonia, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, scarlet fever, etc., and they should go to the hospital for examination in time.
