Question
A newborn’s cry is round, short, and regular, but recently they have been scratching their ears. What should I do if the baby’s throat becomes hoarse?
Answer
A baby’s cry can convey various meanings, such as hunger, a wet diaper, insect bites, being too cold or too hot. When a baby’s throat becomes hoarse while crying, parents should carefully observe and record the characteristics of the cry for reference when seeking medical attention. Additionally, ensuring the baby gets adequate fluids and paying attention to their diet can help promote recovery. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for diagnosis and treatment by a doctor.
