Pediatric acute laryngitis with oral ulcers
Disease description:
The child has acute laryngitis accompanied by oral ulcers. What could be the cause, and how should it be treated?
Acute laryngitis is an acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx, usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. Symptoms include sore throat, hoarseness, and cough. When children develop acute laryngitis accompanied by oral ulcers, it may indicate a systemic inflammatory response due to infection. In such cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. Doctors may perform examinations such as throat inspection and blood tests to determine the type and severity of the infection and provide appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or antiviral medications. Additionally, patients should maintain adequate fluid intake, avoid irritating foods, and use topical medications to relieve pain associated with sore throat and oral ulcers.
