What causes a one-month-old baby to have a hoarse voice?

The body resistance of a one-month-old baby is relatively low, and the main source of resistance is breast milk. If there is anything abnormal with the breast milk, it can easily cause the baby to have symptoms of hoarseness. If a mother eats too much hot food during the first month of pregnancy, the breast milk will be hotter, which can easily cause the baby to have a hoarse throat after drinking the breast milk. Therefore, the baby should be given water and prevented from crying.

The reason why a one-month-old baby has a hoarse voice

Children are in the developmental stage, their vocal organs are not very mature, and they are more easily excited. 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 with a lot of blood, causing the local membrane to thicken. The uneven membrane cannot close, causing the voice to become hoarse or lost.

What should I do if my one-month-old baby has a hoarse voice?

1. Stay hydrated

It is recommended that parents should pay attention to letting their babies drink more boiled water to replenish body water, and reduce contact with cold food and spicy and irritating food.

2. Emotional stability

Generally speaking, the baby's body is in the development stage, and the vocal organs are not yet mature. In addition, the baby is easily excited and likes to shout loudly. When he is happy, he shouts to express his excitement. When he cries, he also cries loudly. These behaviors can easily cause swelling and inflammation of the vocal cords, so the baby is prone to hoarseness and sore throat. When the vocal cords become inflamed, a large amount of congestion will cause the local membrane to thicken. The membrane is uneven and cannot close, making the voice hoarse or even lost.

3. Drug treatment

Babies have relatively low resistance and are easily invaded by bacteria, especially when seasons change and the weather changes drastically. They are prone to catching colds. Viruses can make babies sick and cause sore throats. Laryngitis is also one of the factors that cause hoarseness and sore throat in babies.

4. Emergency measures

Don't speak loudly. Young children have the problem of talking and shouting loudly. Parents should be more careful not to cause their babies to cry loudly for no reason. Reducing your baby's loud shouting can help protect your baby's throat.
