Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Symptoms of laryngitis in infants mainly include the following aspects:
1. Fever: Laryngitis is usually caused by viral or bacterial infections, so affected children may develop fever of varying degrees.
2. Hoarseness: Laryngitis causes congestion and swelling of the mucous membranes in the infant's throat, which easily leads to hoarseness.
3. Barking cough: A barking cough is one of the typical symptoms of pediatric laryngitis, characterized by a cough that sounds similar to a dog's bark.
4. Difficulty breathing: In severe cases of laryngitis, children may experience difficulty breathing.
