What to do if children have long-term hoarseness

We also know that children's bodies are quite weak. Once a child has some problems, the parents are the most worried. Many parents may find that their children's voices are in a long-term hoarse state. So what should they do when their children are in this situation? In order to help parents solve their confusion, let me introduce to you some methods to deal with children's long-term hoarseness. Let's take a look.

1. In order to prevent children from having hoarse voices, teachers and parents should remind children not to use their voices excessively when reading and singing, avoid shouting loudly, do not talk too much, and do not drink cold drinks after talking for a long time to avoid acute laryngitis. In addition, you should eat a light diet, seek timely treatment for colds and flu, and pay attention to indoor and environmental hygiene. Whenever you feel your throat is dry after using it, you should drink more warm water. Children who have developed hoarseness should keep silent for a week or speak as little as possible. At the same time, they should take throat lozenges orally to eliminate throat inflammation. If conditions permit, nebulizer inhalation therapy can be used.

2. Hoarseness in children is a major symptom of chronic laryngitis. Some children have nasal congestion, enlarged tonsils, enlarged adenoids, and frequent mouth breathing, which causes dryness of the throat mucosa. Repeated coughing increases laryngeal muscle fatigue and hoarseness. Most children suffer from hoarseness due to excessive use of their voices, such as shouting, crying, singing, etc., which is beyond the range of children. Laryngoscopy in children with hoarseness may reveal vocal cord congestion, edema, nodules or polyps. The key to treating chronic laryngitis is to eliminate the cause, talk less, and most importantly, rest your voice. Chinese medicine should be used to treat diseases of adjacent organs such as rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, adenoids hypertrophy, and adenitis. Topical medications include lozenges, throat-clearing Chinese medicine, and drug nebulization inhalation. Eat less sweets and spicy foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Most voice changes can heal themselves after puberty.

3. For the treatment of chronic laryngitis in children, oral antibiotics and hormones can be used in the case of acute hoarseness, but the main thing is to let the child talk less so that the overtired vocal cords can rest. But it is very difficult to do this. Therefore, prevention of chronic laryngitis is even more important. Kindergarten teachers should understand some physiological and hygienic knowledge about children's vocalization, and avoid shouting loudly when singing or reading aloud. Chronic coughs should be treated promptly, and children should be given water regularly to prevent dry throat and inflammation.

The above are common methods for dealing with long-term hoarseness in children. Parents may wish to improve their children in these aspects. Teach your children to avoid shouting and to drink more water. Never let your child's voice become hoarse due to long-term shouting, as this may have a certain impact on the child's vocal cords.
