Question
My child is 5 years old, and their voice often sounds hoarse. They also have poor eating habits. I don’t know how to deal with it. The previous diagnoses and treatments had clear effects, but the later effects were not as good. What could be the cause? How can I prevent and treat it?
Answer
The hoarseness in a child could be due to laryngitis or gastric dampness. It is recommended to avoid eating spicy, cold, and other stimulating (irritating) foods, not to talk or sing loudly for extended periods, and to drink plenty of water. In severe cases, it may be necessary to rest the voice for a period of time. It is suggested to seek professional medical advice and follow the treatment plan prescribed by the doctor.
