What to Do If a Baby Boy Loses His Voice

Question

A four-month-old baby boy was found to have lost his voice on the 23rd! The symptoms are a cold, cough, and laryngitis. He cries a lot and today his voice is particularly weak, feeling as if he can’t produce any sound at all. What should I do?

Answer

I’m glad to help clarify your concerns. For a four-month-old child, if laryngitis is suspected due to a cold or sneezing, it’s advisable to take the child to the hospital for nebulizer inhalation therapy. A thorough examination of the throat is necessary, as well as checking for temperature changes. Usually, if the laryngitis persists, there may be a fever, and timely fever reduction and symptomatic treatment are required.
