What should I do if my child has a hoarse voice? These methods deal with

If you find that your child's voice becomes hoarse, it may be caused by overuse of the voice, such as talking too much or laughing for a long time. It may also be due to physical fatigue or inflammation of the throat. In short, the causes of this symptom are very complicated. In addition to buying medicine for treatment, you can also relieve and treat it through the following methods.

First, what to do if your child has a hoarse throat

According to experts, children are in the developmental stage and their vocal organs are not very mature. In addition, they are easily emotional. They shout when they are happy and cry loudly when they are unhappy. This can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords. The inflamed vocal cords become congested, causing the local membrane to thicken. The membrane is uneven and cannot close, causing the voice to become hoarse or loss of voice.

The first thing to do to relieve hoarseness is to avoid letting your child talk or shout loudly. Secondly, boiled water is the best "throat soothing medicine", so be sure to let your child drink more boiled water; you can also let him drink some vegetable and fruit juices that have the effect of clearing heat and removing fire, such as pear juice, chrysanthemum tea, etc. Also, be careful not to let your children drink cold or carbonated drinks, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the hoarseness is more serious, you can give your child some throat-clearing and throat-relief medicines, such as Qinghou Liyan granules. The effect is quite good. Generally, after taking it continuously for 10 to 15 days, the child's throat will be completely restored.

Second, how to take care of a child with a hoarse voice

Children's vocal cords are more delicate, their tissues are looser, and their resistance to the outside world is weaker. If you do not pay attention to protecting their vocal organs at this time, their vocal cords may be damaged and their voices may become hoarse. So, how to take care of a child with a hoarse voice?

1. Replenish water. Boiled water is the best "throat soothing medicine", so parents must let their children drink more boiled water; they can also let them drink some vegetable and fruit juices that have the effect of clearing heat and removing fire, such as pear juice, chrysanthemum tea, etc.

2. Drug treatment. If the child's hoarseness is more serious, you can give him some throat-clearing and throat-relief medicines, such as Qinghou Liyan granules, which are quite effective. Generally, after taking it continuously for 10 to 15 days, the child's throat will be completely restored.

3. Don't shout. Excessive use of the voice or shouting loudly for a long time will cause the child's vocal cords to become congested and edematous, making the voice hoarse. Therefore, parents should teach their children not to speak loudly or shout, and avoid causing their children to cry loudly for no reason, so as to avoid invisibly damaging their throats.

4. Don’t take medicines such as Isatis root and Sterculia lychnophora. Some parents will give their children medicines such as Isatis root and Sterculia lychnophora when their children have hoarse throats. This is inappropriate. Because these medicines are cold in nature, if children take them frequently, their constitution will become weak, and in severe cases, they may even develop stomach ulcers.

Third, what food should children eat when their voice is hoarse?

A child's voice should be mellow, pleasant, crisp and melodious, but a child's vocal cords are relatively tender and their tissues are relatively loose. If they do not learn to make sounds scientifically, and overuse their voices for a long time or shout loudly, it is easy for the vocal cords to become congested and edematous, causing the throat to become hoarse. So, what food should children eat if they have a hoarse throat?
