What should I do if my child has a hoarse voice?

Many children do not know how to use their voices and often shout, which leads to hoarseness. When a child has a hoarse voice, if it is not treated in time, it may become a long-term hoarseness.

3. Use of antibiotics and hormones The use of antibiotics is to control upper respiratory tract infections and eliminate inflammatory lesions of the upper respiratory tract such as the vocal cords. The effect of hormones is that they eliminate inflammatory lesions such as vocal cord congestion, and their immunosuppressive effect reduces the formation and release of histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and other active substances, thereby alleviating allergic reactions and reducing vascular permeability.

4. Ultrasonic nebulization inhalation of drugs: The drugs are ultrasonically nebulized into microparticles so that they are evenly distributed in the throat.

5. The commonly used drug for drug steam inhalation is compound benzoin tincture, which has a strong expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect.
