Acute laryngitis in children is considered a pediatric emergency, but the severity of laryngitis varies. Mild cases can be managed at home with symptomatic treatment, while severe cases should seek medical attention promptly. To distinguish whether to visit a hospital or manage at home, first observe the overall condition, including mental status, eating habits, and whether there is persistent or recurrent fever, cyanosis, or difficulty breathing. If these symptoms are present, visit the hospital promptly to receive symptomatic treatment and quickly address the inflammation of the larynx to alleviate the worsening of the disease.
