What causes pharyngitis in children? Can pharyngitis in children heal itself?

Inflammation of the throat is a disease caused by bacteria and viruses. Children have poor resistance and coughing for a long time can easily cause pharyngitis. When a child has pharyngitis, parents must pay attention to it, otherwise it will cause damage to the child's throat.

1. The laryngeal cartilage is soft and has weak supporting force. When the larynx is narrowed due to inflammation, the negative pressure in the child's chest, trachea and larynx increases during the inhalation phase, causing the laryngeal cartilage to sink to the middle and the laryngeal cavity to become narrower.

2 The laryngeal mucosa and glandular tissue are rich. Children not only have abundant mucosal lymphatic vessels, but also the tissue under the mucosa is relatively loose. Therefore, when infected or inflamed, the swelling is very serious.

3. Weak coughing function. Weak coughing function makes it difficult to expel secretions in the throat and trachea, which can easily cause laryngeal spasm and laryngeal obstruction.

4 The laryngeal nerves are more sensitive. When stimulated, sensitive nerves can easily cause laryngeal muscle spasms and lead to laryngeal narrowing.

5 Environmental factors Many environmental factors can also cause pediatric pharyngitis. In today's cities, children have to breathe too much car exhaust and pollutants every day, which will affect their health. Therefore, when children are at home or at school, the air in the room where they are staying should be kept fresh. If the air conditioner is turned on, the windows should be opened regularly to replace the fresh air.

6 Other factors If the child has other adjacent organ diseases, such as rhinitis or otitis media, it is easy to induce pediatric pharyngitis if the parents do not pay attention to it. Children, like adults, often have acute infectious diseases or upper respiratory tract infections. And usually secondary rhinitis, pharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infections and other diseases. Infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, measles, chickenpox, or scarlet fever.

Chronic pharyngitis in children generally cannot heal itself. If your baby is diagnosed with chronic pharyngitis, you must take timely measures to treat it. Mild chronic pharyngitis in children can generally be treated with medication, while severe cases require surgery. In addition, you must pay attention to adjusting your child's diet. Some children love to eat fried foods, such as fried chicken and hamburgers, so try to eat less. Another thing is not to eat spicy food.

Some children with acute laryngitis will recover on their own. However, not every child has the same condition. For this disease, most children will become more and more serious after the onset of the disease. If the progressive laryngitis in children is neglected, it will put the child's life in danger. Therefore, it is recommended that every parent of a child with acute laryngitis should not wait for the disease to heal on its own. Once the child has symptoms such as coughing and sore throat, he should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Early treatment can reduce the child's pain and avoid possible life-threatening dangers.

1. Acute onset of laryngitis in children. In most cases, the onset is very acute, and is accompanied by symptoms of coughing and hoarseness. When these discomforts occur, the child will cry and make a fuss all the time.

2. The symptom of shortness of breath means that the child's laryngitis is already in a more serious state, with respiratory wheezing and shortness of breath during breathing, which will be aggravated at night.

3. Hoarseness of the throat This is a more obvious symptom. Hoarseness of the throat can even affect normal pronunciation in severe cases.

4 Sore throat usually causes a feeling of foreign matter in the throat, whether swallowing or eating, and is accompanied by pain in the throat.

5 Coughing and sputum. Throat inflammation will cause more secretions in the throat, and at this time it is easy to produce what we often call sputum, so coughing and sputum will occur.
