What to do if your baby has a hoarse throat

We all know that baby's throat is a common disease among newborns. Because the organs of newborns are not yet fully developed, they are very likely to suffer from this disease. Many doctors cannot accurately diagnose this disease, and laryngoscopy is required to confirm the diagnosis. After the diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe the right medicine. So, what should we do if the baby has throat?

Baby's laryngeal stridor has nothing to do with diarrhea. Laryngeal stridor is caused by airflow passing through a narrow airway segment during breathing. Baby's laryngeal stridor includes congenital simple laryngeal stridor (laryngeal tracheal chondromalacia), congenital laryngeal tracheal developmental abnormalities, etc. There are many reasons for laryngeal stridor in newborns, and it is easy to misdiagnose. Therefore, if your baby is found to have laryngeal stridor, you should take him to the hospital for a laryngoscopy in time to avoid delaying treatment. In addition, because the respiratory tract of newborns is not yet mature, the laryngeal cartilage is relatively soft, the coordination ability is insufficient, and the nasal passages are small and prone to nasal congestion, so occasionally there will be gurgling, piggy-like breathing sounds in the larynx. Sometimes it is obvious, sometimes it is inaudible. This is not considered an illness and generally the baby will get better when he is 6 months old. It is recommended that the mother take the baby to see a doctor. If there is no problem, rest assured.

Congenital laryngeal stridor does not cause diarrhea or abdominal pain. This is mostly caused by maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and fetal calcium deficiency, which leads to poor development of the baby's laryngeal cartilage. Most children recover on their own after 1 year old, and a few recover on their own after 2-3 years old. You can take appropriate calcium and vitamin D supplements and get more sun exposure to help with recovery. You should also pay attention to preventing colds.

Larynx is usually caused by calcium deficiency. It will not cause stomachache in children. Giving children some calcium supplements should be effective.

Congenital laryngeal stridor can be mild or severe. Mild cases do not have much impact; in severe cases, the larynx of children is severely narrowed during inhalation, which can cause hypoxia in children. In addition, due to poor breathing and difficulty in expelling respiratory secretions, respiratory infections are often prone to occur. Once infected, the respiratory mucosa becomes swollen, further aggravating the stenosis of the respiratory tract, making the condition worse and difficult to heal.

After the symptom appears in the neonatal period, it will gradually worsen, usually being most severe at 1-2 months. Then, with age, the cartilage will gradually harden, gradually alleviating after 6 months and completely disappearing around 1 year old.
