What should I do if my child’s voice becomes hoarse from crying?

In our daily lives, mothers must have encountered many troublesome problems. For example, if a child cries for a long time, the throat may become congested and swollen, or the vocal cords may become pharyngitis or other symptoms, which may directly lead to hoarseness and inability to speak. Faced with this situation, mothers must be extremely anxious and caught off guard, so we should take timely measures to prescribe the right remedy to maintain the children's good physical condition and let them grow up healthily and happily. So, next, let us analyze how to solve the problem of children’s hoarse voice due to crying.

1. Scrophulariaceae and Chrysanthemum Tea

4. Silver Flower Mint Drink

Efficacy : Clearing heat, detoxifying, and reducing inflammation. If your body is inflamed, or if you want to prevent inflammation, you can take some honeysuckle water in moderation.

Usage : 30 grams of honeysuckle, 10 grams of mint, and 60 grams of fresh reed root.

Things to note when children have a hoarse voice from crying

1. Drink more water. You should make sure your children drink more boiled water to replenish their body water and avoid cold, spicy and irritating foods.

2. Emotional stability. Generally speaking, children are easily excited, like to shout loudly, and cry loudly when they cry. These behaviors can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords, resulting in hoarseness and sore throat.

3. Don't let your children drink too much Banlangen, Pangdahai, etc. If you soak Banlangen and Pangdahai in water and give them to your children as water, these two Chinese medicines not only fail to prevent and relieve your child's sore throat and hoarseness, but also have certain side effects.
