Guo Guo, a girl in Hangzhou who had just celebrated her 3rd birthday, was rescued for more than 2 hours, and the rescue was ineffective.
Guo Guo's parents cried at the door of the rescue room. The child coughed for two days and was taken to the hospital for only half a day. It all happened so fast!
The daughter who was bouncing around was gone, but she left because of a cough, and no pair of parents could accept such an ending.
How can this be? How could a child cough twice, how could it deteriorate into such a situation?
2 days ago, Guo Guo began to cough and had a little fever. Mom and Dad took guoguo's body temperature and found that she had burned to 39 degrees, did not have a runny nose, occasionally coughed twice, and had a little phlegm.
It should be a cold and fever... Guoguo's parents thought so, and took out the ibuprofen at home and fed it to the child. Not to mention, after drinking ibuprofen, guoguo did not have a fever. The parents also put their hearts at ease.
Guo Guo's mother turned out some cold medicine and erythromycin granules and rushed them to the child to drink. But after the 3-year-old daughter drank the medicine, her cough was not good, and her breathing was a little suffocated.
Mom and Dad thought, just cough, see the situation and go to the hospital. This time, they gave the fruit a nod spore. Four hours later, the parents were completely panicked.
Guoguo really didn't cough anymore. Because at this time, her suffocation was aggravated, and the whole person's face was bruised and purple. Mom and Dad quickly took the child to the hospital by taxi. But no matter how they shake the fruit, the child should not be silent.
Acute laryngitis, why is it so dangerous to take people's lives?
By the time he was taken to the hospital, Guo Guo was no longer breathing. Doctors could not detect blood pressure and observed that the child's pupil had dilated to 4 mm.
What is the disease of this 3-year-old girl?
The doctor told the grief-stricken parents that the child had acute laryngitis and laryngeal obstruction!
This emergency may be a viral infection or a bacterial infection. The end is breathlessness! It's easy to take a child's life.
Why is pediatric acute laryngitis so dangerous?
01 Your child's laryngeal cavity is narrow
02 There are many lymphoid tissues and glands in the larynx
03 Children coughing is not easy to discharge secretions
04 Children who are susceptible to infection and immunity are also relatively low and prone to laryngospasm
Summary: For the above reasons, when children develop acute laryngitis, the situation can easily become dangerous, and laryngeal obstruction may occur and kill people.
How to distinguish laryngeal obstruction?
Laryngeal obstruction is an emergency that comes particularly quickly. In general, symptoms are mild during the day, but worsen at night.
Young children may have difficulty breathing in the air. If the treatment is not timely, it will first turn pale, then turn blue, and even the consciousness is not clear.
So how do you distinguish between a sinister laryngeal obstruction and an ordinary cough?
In fact, you can listen to the sound of children coughing.
If you find that when a child coughs, the voice is hoarse, and there is a little empty, similar to the puppy barking, be sure to be vigilant!
This is called a barking cough and is one of the important signs of laryngeal obstruction. Especially if this situation occurs at night, don't be too contemptuous as Guoguo's parents, and hurrying to the hospital is the right way to deal with it.
Dr.X said
Now in the depths of winter, children have more coughs. Parents should pay attention to distinguishing between cold cough and acute laryngitis. The gap between children's development, immunity, etc. is too large with adults, and parents may cause a big disaster if they are not careful.
