Question
The baby is three months old and woke up with a hoarse throat this morning. There is no coughing, and I am seeking advice on suitable medication or dietary remedies.
Answer
It is recommended to let the baby rest more, speak less, and avoid shouting loudly. Drink plenty of cool, fire-reducing vegetable and fruit juices, such as pear juice. Maintain humidity at home by mopping the floor or using a humidifier. If the baby has symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing along with the hoarse throat, it is advisable to consult a doctor. Additionally, dry air may also cause throat discomfort, so it is important to drink more water and eat moderate amounts of fruit daily, especially fruits that help cool down the body. If the baby drinks milk, it is suggested to increase the water ratio when diluting it to avoid exacerbating the situation.
