ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to study the clinical analysis of acute laryngitis among a sample of Iraqi children. In this study, 100 children with acute laryngitis who were treated in Mahmoudia general hospital Baghdad / Iraq from January 2016 to June 2018 were selected as the observation objects. All the test indices of the children met the diagnostic criteria of acute laryngitis in children. The results showed that the disease occurred frequently in the spring and autumn seasons, especially in 1–3-year-old boys. About 80% of the 100 children were treated with antibiotics, 80% were treated with intravenous hormones, and 96% were treated with budesonide atomization inhalation. The symptoms were not improved or even aggravated. It can be concluded from the current study that the onset of the disease was urgent, the disease progressed rapidly, and it was easy to be complicated with laryngeal obstruction. Antibiotics, sufficient hormone and oxygen atomization inhalation of budesonide should be given in time.
