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

If a child has a hoarse voice, it is probably caused by a disease in the baby's body. In mild cases, the voice will become slightly coarser and the pitch will also become lower. If it is a more serious phenomenon, it may cause loss of consciousness. Parents should pay attention to it and take the child to the hospital for relevant treatment in time. Appropriate nebulization treatment can be performed. Do not let the baby eat spicy and irritating foods.

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

Consider one: chronic laryngitis. If a child develops chronic laryngitis, his voice will become hoarse. He needs to take good care of his vocal cords, avoid making a fuss, and go to the hospital for examination to find out whether there is inflammation. If there is inflammation, he needs to take medication to eliminate the inflammation, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid the stimulation of spicy food.

Consideration 2: Vocal cord nodules. Some children may also have hoarseness problems due to nodules on their vocal cords. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for examination. If it is a vocal cord nodule, surgical treatment is required to prevent the child from talking for a long time or shouting, which may aggravate the condition.

Consideration three: Yelling often. Some children like to shout loudly in their daily lives, and they do so for a long time without interruption. Over time, this will cause their throats to become hoarse. This can be avoided by avoiding shouting, drinking plenty of water, and resting the vocal cords.

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.
