Laryngotracheitis treatment in Guadalajara

Laryngotracheitis is an inflammation of the larynx and trachea, common in childhood and usually associated with respiratory tract infections.

How it shows up: A harsh-sounding cough, hoarseness and, at times, a noise when breathing are characteristic; the symptoms usually worsen at night.

Common causes: Most cases have a viral origin, although cold or dry air can influence the discomfort.

When to see a doctor? If breathing becomes difficult, the noise on inhaling is marked, or the child looks very affected, care is needed without delay. The pediatric pulmonologist is one of the professionals who evaluates these respiratory conditions in children and advises on the necessary care.
