What should I do if my child's voice becomes hoarse?

Some babies are naturally more active. If they shout loudly frequently, it is easy to damage their throats. Hoarseness is basically caused by stimulation of the vocal cords. You must pay more attention to rest, let your baby drink more water, take your baby to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and then actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment under the doctor's guidance. Try to give your baby a light diet.

Children are in the developmental stage, their vocal organs are not yet mature, and 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.

It is worth noting that when a child has a hoarse throat, it is not advisable to take medicines such as Isatis root and Sterculia lychnophora. Because these medicines are cold in nature, children will become weak if they take them frequently, and in severe cases may even develop stomach ulcers.
