Laryngitis isn't always contagious. Ventilate the room and limit contact between children.

Laryngitis is most often caused by viral infections. There's a chance of infection, but it's not guaranteed that your baby will develop laryngitis; it might just be a runny nose. Ventilate more often, humidify the air, and isolate children.
