Many parents do not realise that inflammation of the larynx in children can be dangerous to their health and even their lives. It so happens that more serious infections (viral or fungal) in children require hospital treatment. The same is true when a child has a sudden and very severe inflammation of the larynx.

Hospitalization in some cases is necessary because it will protect the child from suffocation. The decision to treat the baby at home or in hospital is taken by the doctor.
