Question
My child’s throat has been persistently hoarse, and I’m worried it might be a sign of worsening illness. I hope to get a professional medical explanation for this situation.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child’s voice has been consistently hoarse, with a raspy quality when speaking. This may be related to laryngeal inflammation or polyps. If your child’s voice completely disappears when they speak loudly, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. An otolaryngologist should examine them to confirm the diagnosis. It’s important to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet in the meantime.
