Question
What should I do if a child’s voice becomes hoarse?
Answer
When a child’s voice becomes hoarse, it’s important to first observe for any other symptoms, such as fever or cough. If it’s caused by an upper respiratory infection, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be administered. At the same time, maintaining a moist environment, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding excessive vocal use can all help improve the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to take the child to see a doctor promptly.
