Introduction
During an acute laryngotracheitis episode, the body's immune system responds to viral or bacterial invasion, consuming energy in the process, which leads to physical fatigue. When pathogens cause infection in the throat area, inflammation stimulates coughing. Due to inflammatory reactions in the tracheal mucosa, stimulation of the body's temperature regulation center can also result in fever.

Acute laryngotracheitis symptoms include body fatigue, cough, fever, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Body fatigue

The body's immune system defends against attacks by viruses or bacteria, which consumes energy during this process, leading to feelings of physical fatigue and tiredness.

2. Cough

When pathogens pass through the throat area, they can cause infection in the pharynx. Under inflammatory stimulation, coughing occurs, often accompanied by hoarseness or even loss of voice.

3. Fever

Due to inflammatory reactions in the tracheal mucosa, the body releases substances to fight pathogens during inflammation. When these substances stimulate the body's temperature regulation center, body temperature rises, resulting in fever.

In addition, symptoms such as wheezing and difficulty breathing may also occur. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for appropriate examinations to determine the underlying cause and receive suitable treatment.
